Memphis Beat (2010) s02e02 Episode Script
Inside Man
[ Blues music plays .]
[ Bell rings .]
But you know the saying, "first you mock, and then you beg"? That's exactly what this is.
You got to give it a try.
A facial? Thank you.
I think I'll keep mocking you for a while Your skin does look good.
Nice and shiny.
Hey, Jack.
Is that why you got that? This? It's called a smile.
You might want to give it a try.
Hey, y'all.
Home break-in.
The only thing missing is the floor safe.
The victims are a Mike and Laura Lane.
They left last night on a last-minute trip to Barbados.
Three safes in the last six weeks.
Two's a coincidence.
Three's a crime spree.
How'd they get in? Whoa, never mind.
Looks like they backed a truck through here so they wouldn't have to carry a 400-pound safe out of the house.
Looks like they're back.
Who's back? The fox meadow burglars.
10 years ago, they hit 13 homes, took 13 safes.
Height of the burglaries, they just stopped.
Barry Sanders, Detroit lions.
The running back? He was a suspect? No, at the top of his game, he just quit, walked away.
Retired, no explanation.
It's a simile, son.
Simile.
Phillip, want to check for paint transfers here, and let's see if we can get a molding of this tire track.
Uh, actually, whitehead, uh, that would be a metaphor.
A simile would be something like, um Your tie is a crime against humanity.
What's wrong with my tie? Uh, no, nothing's wrong with your tie -- I was just telling you the difference between a -- my wife gave this to me.
Yeah, it's a great tie.
Dwight: Uh, boys? [ Police radio chatter .]
Sorry, Dwight.
Uh, so, uh, what, you think these guys came out of retirement to do this? I don't care if it's the fox meadows gang or the resurrection of Jesse James.
We're gonna get them this time.
Yes, sir.
Okay, yeah -- of course.
It's your call.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
We certainly will.
Guy problems? The mayor.
He wants these burglaries solved yesterday.
Well, we've pulled the old case files, talked to the original detectives.
Greenback's checking with known fences to see if anybody's unloaded the goods.
We're on it.
Well, you're about to get help in the form of a public appeal and a $50,000 reward for information.
That's a bad idea.
Dwight, when the rich voters get scared, the donations dry up.
That makes the mayor mad.
He calls me, and I get mad.
They're announcing it right now.
Allison: Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Memphis police department, 7th precinct, at the number listed below.
A reward in the amount of $50,000 has been offered by the mayor's office for any and all information leading to Here we go.
The apprehension, prosecution, and conviction And five, four Of anyone involved in these ongoing, serious crimes.
Three, two Because in crimes like these One.
[ Telephones ringing .]
Man: Memphis pd.
Man #2: Memphis pd.
[ Indistinct conversations .]
Blast off.
I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough Memphis I can't get enough oh, well, it makes you tremble and it makes you weak gets in your blood, that Memphis beat oh, yeah [ Telephones ringing, indistinct conversations .]
Sutton: Can you tell us what he looked like, ma'am? He was covered in feathers, which enabled him to fly over the wall.
But the strange part -- that wasn't the strange part? I know it sounds crazy, but it had to be my ex.
And I'm sure her boyfriend was involved, too.
I've been there, amigo.
Dance instructor.
Hip-hop.
I never had a chance.
I'll need an advance on that reward -- say, half.
But I'll come back with something solid.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
No.
Al here is just trying to defraud a peace officer.
Mm.
It was a negotiation.
But I take your point.
I got a civilian needs talking to.
I've been talking to whack jobs all day.
What's so different about -- he knows things he shouldn't.
Mr.
grant.
Detective Hendricks.
This is detective white.
It's low blood sugar.
It's a silent killer.
Well, I must have said something right, to get moved to a private room.
Detective greenback said you know a lot about these burglaries.
You want to tell me what that is? It's the fox meadows crew.
They're back in business.
Could be copycats Or new bad guys.
No, I don't think so.
The Lane house.
This last job Oh, right there.
They waited until the family left town.
And yet, it was a spur-of-the-moment trip.
So, somebody had inside knowledge about the coming and going of rich people in the community.
Exactly like the burglaries 10 years ago.
There's a lot that's different, too.
Like what? Like how they removed the safe from the house instead of blowing it up? That just tells me that they're out of pe4, which is, of course, the British version of c-4.
How'd you know they were using pe4? That's not public knowledge.
No.
You're absolutely right.
There's only two ways that I could know that they were using pe4, and those would be, well, umOne That a baboon could tell you the difference between a c4 blast pattern and a pe4 blast pattern.
[ Chuckles .]
Duh.
Or the other would be That I'm the burglar.
There something you want to get off your chest, Keith? Yes, uh, I would start checking construction sites if I were you.
The Lane house job -- they had to move quickly.
The family left town when the burglars were out of explosives.
That's why the crime was different.
But they're gonna need more explosives -- soon.
Harvey Ellis -- dead.
Only two original suspects to go.
Sutton finished his background check on journal boy, Keith grant -- he's squeaky clean.
He worked for the same accounting firm for 15 years.
Reliable employee.
Those are the ones who end up running down beale street, naked with a samurai sword.
Well, he doesn't exactly give off the criminal-mastermind vibe, you know.
If he didn't do it, why's he obsessed with the case? I mean, either he's guilty or he's a nut job.
[ Laughing .]
Whoa! A little quick to judge, there, aren't we, buddy? Maybe you should start working on that.
All right.
You know what? I've let the joker death smile go long enough.
Come clean.
What's going on, buddy? I'm glad you asked.
I'm re-branding myself.
You want to give that to me again? Well, I read a -- a magazine article.
In order for me to be the best whitehead I can be, it starts with a smile.
But as long as I've known you, you haven't read a magazine that didn't have a hot girl or a car on the cover.
Ah, it's the new me.
The glass is half full.
Hmm, I'm starting to think the glass is half full of bourbon.
[ Indistinct conversations .]
Hendricks, didn't a civilian come in here with a tip about construction sites? Yep.
We sent out a heads-up to construction companies, but don't have the manpower to follow through personally 'cause every crackpot in Tennessee stopped by for coffee.
Well, Anthony construction out in river oaks got hit last night.
They lost their entire inventory of pe4.
These boys are reloaded.
My guess, they're getting ready to strike again -- hard.
You need to go back -- talk to my civilian.
I'm on it.
Let me guess -- I was right.
We think some of your ideas might be worth exploring.
Meaning I was right.
There's enough pe4 out there to blow up half the city, and we need to find it.
All right, but if you're looking for some kind of merit badge, you got the wrong boy scout.
[ Police radio chatter .]
[ Radio clicks, chatter stops .]
Crime never sleeps.
Interesting library.
Yes.
The details of the burglaries, from the earliest to the most recent.
The fruits of my own personal investigation.
Memphis crime -- that seems like an odd hobby, don't you think? Not all Memphis crime -- just fox meadows.
You ever think about football? Maybe bird-watching? Yeah, if you solved them, maybe I could move on to bird-watching.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Uh, that's a client.
Excuse me.
Keith: Hello? Guillermo, calm down.
No.
No can do, buckaroo.
We don't have a warrant.
I'm just s-straightening them up here.
All these sharp edges here could be a safety issue, huh? Whoa.
Copy of police reports.
They're all footnoted.
Interviewed witnesses.
Statistical analysis.
We need these.
Either they're some whacked-out, unabomber manifesto that implicates Keith or -- or breaks the case wide open, we get the real burglars.
Keith: Quite the bookworms, huh? We'd like to take a look at these.
Sure.
You got a warrant? Thought we were on the same team.
Look, I understand you seeing me as a suspect.
That's just good police work.
But until you move past that, I think I will just continue my own investigation.
Where it goes.
I'm just asking for a warrant.
And I'm just asking for a reasonable suspicion I can take to a judge.
I know you checked him out.
What'd you find out? Two traffic tickets in the last 20 years.
Fought them both.
Won them both.
He alibis out for the latest burglaries.
He was at a turbotax convention in Dallas.
When the fox meadows burglaries stopped, the mpd moved on to other investigations -- he didn't.
There could be valuable information in those journals.
You want those journals -- you go to Mr.
grant, and you ask him nicely.
We did.
Nicer.
What do you want me to do, write him a poem? How about you bring him in as a consultant? First, you unleash every lunatic in Memphis on us.
Now you want to partner us up with one? Obviously, he has shown an understanding of the case.
You bring him in, you make him feel like he's part of the team.
That's how you get his books.
[ Indistinct conversations .]
UhExcuse me.
Uh, excuse me! I'd like you all to give a warm welcome to Keith grant.
Reserve officer Keith grant, reporting for duty.
Not -- not a reserve officer, but he is consulting for us.
And he's asked to give a "Consultant.
" Briefing.
"Report.
" Thank you, detective.
[ Clears throat .]
Now, then Uh, fox meadows -- [ Door opens .]
Detective white.
This briefing was scheduled for 0800 hours.
Now that you're here, maybe you could get the lights, and we'll proceed.
My pleasure.
Before we begin, I would just like to say how very proud I am to be serving alongside you brave men and women.
Because to me, the police force -- l-like you said, crime never sleeps, Keith, so how about we hop to it and take a look at your journals? Okay, I will be giving out the journals on an "as needed" basis.
Now, it's hard not to recognize the artistry of the original fox meadows burglaries, especially the Zachary job.
But everyone makes mistakes, and that is how we will catch them.
I have cross-referenced all of the crimes based on the victim's background, the date, the phase of the moon -- what do you have -- astrological signs, too? [ Laughter .]
Sorry I'm late.
Mayor's office.
Oh, hi.
I'm Tanya rice.
I'm lieutenant here at the 7th precinct.
And I want to thank you for lending us your expertise.
UmWow, I Uh, uh [ Chuckles .]
Uh, uh, it is an honor, of course.
And you're not late, so don't -- don't worry about Um Mr.
grant, you were saying that Uh, we were discussing, um Astrology.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, yes.
Yeah, I hate to interrupt with something relevant, but Your list of suspects includes a Miles ahomana.
Whitehead: We checked the original suspects.
Name's not on the list.
[ Slides clicking .]
Dwight: That's Miles hart.
He left the country two years ago, moved to the South pacific.
I checked with customs, Keith.
If he came back, I'd know.
Unless He came through Canada using a different name.
He legally changed his name Mm-hmm.
Over there to Miles ahomana.
Means "thunder.
" "Thunder"? I see.
Mm-hmm.
All right, whitehead, how about we pay a little visit to Mr.
thunder? That's a beautiful blouse.
Hey, so, what's the deal with lieutenant rice? Oh, she get you a little flustered, huh? Can you put in a word? We're out in the field.
This is the real deal.
Yeah, right.
I should probably have a badge.
And a gun.
That's not the point he's making.
[ Doorbell rings .]
Miles: Yeah? Mpd.
And consultant Keith grant.
We're out back.
Come through the house.
So -- o-oh.
[ Soft music plays .]
[ Sighs .]
Long time, no see, detectives.
Or as my people say, "li'ili'I kou laho.
" Your people are rednecks from hickory hill, 10 Miles from here.
What are you talking about? Your return to Memphis coincides with the latest burglaries.
Don't suppose you got an alibi? We were playing boggle.
Boggle? Really? Thunder, just answer the question.
Did you know that polygamy is legal in the Maldives? Really? Well, guess what, partner.
It's not here in Memphis.
What's he doing? Keith, step away from the girls.
I was just admiring her earrings.
They're so beautiful.
Where did you get them? They don't speak English.
E hele aku.
Let's make it tough, from a boggle standpoint.
Yeah, well, I do generally win.
Keith: Guess what.
I have a translation app on my iPhone, and I looked up your island greeting.
He said we have small penises.
I think we're done here.
Hey.
We need to have a conversation about boundaries.
Y-you can't just grope like that.
Did you see her earrings? From the 2003 honaker robbery.
Okay? This is it! This is huge! We know.
We got him for fox meadows! Shh! You want to make it more obvious? Oops.
We have a car on Miles' house.
He goes anywhere, we'll know about it.
I don't know why we didn't arrest him right there for fox meadows.
Statute of limitations on burglary is four years.
We can't arrest him for those burglaries.
So we arrest him, and then we say, "whoops.
Forgot about the statute of limitations.
" But we'd have plausible deniability.
Is that how you do people's taxes? And it is still our first priority.
What? Well, actually, we -- we have a new resource that has led us to a suspect.
That's me.
I'm the resource.
Okay.
There's been another burglary.
Congressman Hayes' house.
They blew the safe with pe4.
Whole house locked up.
Point of entry was a third-floor window.
Acrobatic.
Keith? You're riding with us.
Shotgun! Whitehead! I am addressing a-a group of concerned citizens.
Mayor's orders.
Ah, well, I hope that works out for you.
Well, I need someone involved with the investigation to ride along with.
Well, normally, I would love to, but I've got a crime scene.
T-take him.
I would be honored to squire -- Mr.
grant, um Keith.
Keith.
I think they would Want to talk to a detective.
Dwight: Let's go, Keith.
[ Sighs .]
What you got there? Just -- I wrote out a few notes well, pardon me for saying such, but if you want to calm people down, it's not gonna come from some canned speech.
It's got to come from here, here And end up here.
I'm worried about you.
Thanks for coming.
Right.
There.
Thank you.
Hi.
How y'all doing? Uh, lieutenant rice? I'm lieutenant rice.
Shane vereen.
Nice to meet you.
Hey.
Charlie white.
Pleasure.
Shane, well, thank you so much for having us into your home.
Yeah.
Come on in.
It's my mother's home.
Listen, I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming by.
Oh, it's the least we could do.
Yeah.
Now I hate to be the one to throw you to the wolves, but [ Indistinct conversations .]
Good afternoon, everyone.
Um, thank you so much for being here today.
I am lieutenant Tanya rice of the 7th precinct.
And, um I wish I was here under better circumstances.
Not only [ People murmuring .]
[ Clears throat .]
Mrs.
vereen: Why the hell is she smiling? We're in the middle of a crime wave! Woman: Can you tell us exactly what the Memphis police department has done to stop these break-ins? Yes.
You weren't kidding about the wolves.
[ Murmuring continues .]
Whitehead: Miles is the key.
Uniforms lost the tail they had on him, so he's got no alibi for tonight's burglary.
You think he'd be fool enough to pull off another burglary after we tipped we were looking at him? Well, normally I'd say "no," but this guy [Scoffs.]
You should have seen the way he was strutting around -- total narcissist.
He's got the wives to prove it.
I would say that he would look at this as a challenge.
Forget Miles.
Tonight's break-in was through the third-floor window.
Look at this.
Shattered patella and torn meniscus.
I noticed Miles had a limp when we went and saw him.
This guy would have a hard time climbing three flights of stairs, much less the side of a building like spiderman.
Could be working with some old friends.
No.
They're out of the picture.
Miles just got back to Memphis.
There's no way he'd be able to put a crew together this fast.
[ Cellphone rings .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Cellphone beeps .]
What is it, Keith? All right, just -- just calm down, buddy.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
Keith just got jumped in his apartment.
You all right? Do I look all right? Okay, detective white's checking out the area, make sure whoever did this to you isn't still around.
Is lieutenant rice with you? Just focus, all right? What happened? I, um [ Groans .]
I was opening my front door, and somebody attacked me from behind.
Get a look at anybody? No.
I woke up, had a headache, and saw that they had done this.
The journals are gone.
Tell me you have copies.
No.
Copies wouldn't do them justice.
No.
Photographic memory -- you seem like one of those Savant kind of guys.
Thank you, but no.
I'm sorry.
So we got nothing.
You've had a rough night.
You should get some sleep.
And don't touch my stuff.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
[ Strums guitar .]
Hey! That's a Gibson l4.
Once owned by furry Lewis.
Just Good night, Keith.
Play me a song.
I'm sorry.
It sounded like you asked me to play you a song.
I almost got killed trying to help you.
It's the least I could ask for.
Yeah, I don't usually see your kind of passion for a crime, and I did some checking, Keith, and you do have a record As a victim.
You got mugged and beaten pretty good, around the time the fox meadows crimes started, didn't you? I was walking to my car, with a pizza.
And, um I gave them the pizza and all my money.
The rest was, uh Two weeks in the hospital.
Rachel wanted burgers, and If I had gone to fat Jack's I suppose it never would have Police never caught them.
And While I was in the hospital, I just Started reading about the fox meadows burglaries.
And I started studying them And making notes -- I guess, just to deal with all the frustration.
10 years and one ex-wife later One song.
And it never leaves the room.
[ Strumming guitar .]
The day will come when there's nothing new to see and then you'll know here is where you want to be you know my song used to take your heart away that same old feel is gonna bring you back to stay when it all comes down look for me I'll still be around when it all comes down look for me I'll still be around [ Song ends .]
All right, campfire's over.
[ Cellphone rings, beeps .]
What's up, lieutenant? Hey.
Tell her I said, "hi.
" Keith says, "hi.
" All right.
I'm on my way.
Don't.
[ Sirens wail .]
Not at first.
But of course, I came in to the back terrace, and there it was.
Is everyone all right? Yeah.
Point of entry was the den.
Busted in the French doors.
Weird thing is, is this is where rice and I met with the concerned citizens earlier.
That the victim? Yeah.
This is her son.
I'd better go talk to her.
I'd like you to provide some -- I got this, Pete.
Thank you.
Ma'am, I'm detective Dwight Hendricks.
I already told the other officer.
I came home from the theater.
All of my jewelry, a lot of cash All of it gone.
I don't Shane! No.
Mom, it's fine.
All right, look, I'm worried about you.
I'm just having a drink.
Huh.
I know that "huh.
" What's up? Well, the vereen house.
It's an enclosed backyard.
You could only get to those French doors through the back gate.
Gate's six feet high, security cameras mounted on top.
I mean, we're getting the footage.
Yeah, but the gate was locked, undisturbed.
So you think they came through the house and broke the door to make it seem like that was the point of entry? That's interesting, because I did a background check on the folks at the concerned citizen meeting.
Turns out the son, Shane vereen, was convicted of drug possession and served 30 days in rehab.
He poured himself a double tonight.
Maybe there's a reason he fell off the wagon.
For you.
Thank you.
And this one's for your son.
Is he around, by any chance? No.
What can I do for you, detective? Earlier, you told the patrolman that, uh, you saw "Jersey boys" last night.
When -- when did you get your tickets? Shane gave me the tickets yesterday.
He said a friend couldn't go.
And he didn't want to go with you? What's this really about? Well, I'm just, uh, wondering ifShane needed you out of the house.
I think Shane staged all this 'cause he's involved in the recent burglaries and he needed to distract us.
He's a good boy.
I'm sure he's good to you.
But I'm right, aren't I? He left shortly after you did, with his suitcase.
He wouldn't say where he was going.
Whatever he's done, you've got to bring him in safely.
Please.
I will, ma'am.
I've been working with Shane for nearly a year now.
I'm curious why you guys are looking for him.
Well, he's a suspect in an ongoing investigation, doctor.
My name's Jeffrey.
I don't got a lot of fancy letters behind my name.
I did my training up at millington.
That's a liberal arts college? It's a prison.
I was doing a three-year stretch when I realized I wasn't gonna be able to help myself until I learned to help the people around me.
So when I got out, I got licensed, and I've been helping people like Shane ever since.
Yeah, his, uh, mom said he's been fighting a drug problem? Well, you don't fight drugs, because drugs don't fight fair.
I help my clients to broker a peace treaty between 'em.
You got a 20 on where the vereen kid might have run off to? Sorry.
No 20.
I can tell you that Shane has missed his last few sessions.
Shane has got major abandonment issues.
There's a lot of rage behind it.
Well, we're just looking for anyone he could be working with.
You know if he met anyone here that might have burglary on their rap sheet? I can't help you.
Because of doctor-patient privilege? Because I don't know.
If I thought I could help you bring him in in one piece, I would consider violating the privilege.
[ Scribbling .]
[ Clears throat .]
[ Scribbling stops .]
Thank you.
[ Scoffs .]
You're wasting your time, detective.
I got nothing to say.
Hmm.
We know you did fox meadows.
And I'm guessing that you know we can't touch you on those.
Well, then, can I just come out and say those were a thing of beauty, weren't they? So are the recent ones you helped someone pull.
No, those were hatchet jobs.
I'm insulted you'd think I'd be associated with those in any way.
Those boys are crazy and dangerous.
You know this guy? You like him for the latest burglaries? Certainly looks dumb enough.
Rich kid? Which would make him the perfect inside man.
He knows all the coming and goings of the rich folks of Memphis.
But he would need an accomplice, wouldn't he? A mentor.
[ Scoffs .]
You okay? You want to talk about crazy and dangerous? I spent the last week smiling at a bunch of idiots and spouting inane slogans and taking life advice from my pain-in-the-ass boss! Hey, you need to get away from me.
And of all those imbeciles, you're the dumbest of 'em all! You decide that it's a good idea for you to marry two women? That's crazy! You want me to -- no, wait.
Give him a minute.
All right.
J-just - just -- just sit down.
My ears work better when I'm standing! Okay.
After the fox meadows business and before I left for the tropics, I-I spent a little time in county jail.
Why don't you tell me something that I don't already know.
Hypothetically, while there, I may have met myself a safecracker.
H-hypothetically, I may have taught him a thing or two, including the necessity of having an inside man.
There's [Scoffs.]
Nothing illegal about a couple of crooks swapping stories.
I'm still waiting for a name.
I'm not a rat, detective.
But you're a smart man Hypothetically.
You'll figure it out.
Here's how the next 30 seconds are gonna go.
You're gonna either give me a name Or I'm gonna beat your head into this desk.
Get in there before he pulverizes that man.
Gonna tear up the furniture.
Detective.
Could I borrow you for a second? I need help with that thing, in the place.
Oh, the place.
Yeah.
Good timing, thunder.
You must have been born under a favorable sign.
All right.
Please call me if you hear from him.
Thank you.
[ Keys clacking .]
Talked to all of Shane's friends.
Nobody's heard from him.
One day, the police will realize the value of social networking sites for [Taps key.]
Crime-solving.
Don't tell me Shane's dumb enough to post his whereabouts.
No, and although I am not friends with Shane, while you were spinning your wheels, I was able to friend a friend of his girlfriend, Sally coopersmith.
That's violating about three constitutional amendments I can think of.
That's violatingcyberspaceee constitubelongs to all of us.
She's cute in a kind of Amy Adams kind of way.
Somewhere between "enchanted" and "the fighter.
" Click on the fish picture.
Let me see that.
The only place to get a walleye that big in Tennessee is Boone lake.
[ Keys clacking .]
A mark coopersmith owns a house on Boone lake.
I'm guessing it's the girlfriend's dad.
Four words -- Boone lake road trip! Sounds great, Keith.
I'll go get the sodas and the beef jerky.
Yes, yes! Hey.
Uh, Dwight told me to tell you you got to sit this one out.
It can get pretty dangerous out there.
Come on, now.
It ain't gonna happen.
Hey.
You ever been in a squad car, sirens going, overheads on? Really? It's kind of awesome.
Let's go.
[ Sighs .]
I'm tired of waiting.
Let's go.
No, I want to do this by the book.
Rice is getting a telephonic warrant.
Should be coming in any second.
So, I was looking at the arrest report from the dw liquor store robbery from a couple weeks ago.
Strange choice of reading material.
While I was in [Clears throat.]
Court testifying, you took the call on your own.
You were first on the scene.
You called for back-up, instead of Getting them alone.
It's mpd protocol.
The old whitehead would have run the punks down, you know, and got them himself.
Okay.
It's a great conversation.
We'll have it again real soon.
You're not the same cop you were 15 years ago.
What are you saying? That I'm old? "Der," whitehead.
"Older.
" Just like me.
You know? Maybe you lost a step.
But you're smarter now.
It's a trade-off.
Man, you don't need to re-brand yourself, whatever the hell that means.
You're fine.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
[ Click .]
We're good to go.
Memphis pd! Open up! Here, move away.
I'm gonna bust it down.
So much for being smarter.
[ Rifle cocks .]
Freeze! Or I'll blow your heads off.
All right son, just take it easy.
I-I promised your mom I'd get you back safe.
Wait.
Whoa, whoa.
When I heard people walking up towards the house, I-I thought it was Who's got you more scared than the police? Look, I did the first break-in two weeks ago.
It was a "screw you" to my rich friends for turning their back on me, after I embarrassed them with my problem.
Who'd you do it with? That one burglary -- the first one -- that should have been plenty.
All right, you have to understand, it was never about the money.
But he wouldn't let me stop! Just give us the name of your partner, and I'm sure the d.
A.
Will cut you a break, all right? We'll tell him you're fighting a drug problem.
No, you can't fight drugs.
It's not A fair fight.
Your partner's Jeffrey Gibbs, your drug counselor, isn't it? Your polynesian Romeo was at county lock-up same time as Gibbs.
Must have been where Miles passed along his wisdom.
Gibbs must have seen Shane coming a mile away.
Angry, mixed-up rich kid? Perfect inside man.
The way he beat him up like that? It takes a real monster to prey on parolees and addicts.
Gibbs keeps a storage facility.
If it's got any of the stolen property from the burglaries, we've got him dead to rights.
What the hell are you doing here, Keith? That is the thanks I get for solving the case with you.
You ditch me.
If it wasn't for my police scanner, I never would have even heard about it.
Just say the word, and I'll tase the little bastard.
I liked him better before.
Look I'm sorry, Keith.
You know, you've been a huge help.
[ Handcuffs click .]
And I'm sorry about that, too.
I truly mean it.
Aah! Dwight! You can't -- shh! Stay.
You can't -- it's going dow-- [ sighs .]
[ Sliding doors open, close .]
Here it is.
This rolex is from the Hayes burglary.
These bearer bonds are from the Lane job.
We got him.
[ Sliding doors close .]
[ Blues music plays .]
[ Volume increases .]
[ Music continues .]
Keith.
What kind of idiot blasts music during a police operation? He's not an idiot -- usually.
I think he's giving us a heads-up.
[ Music continues .]
Aah! [ Gun cocks .]
[ Music continues .]
[ Groans .]
How's that feel, doc? That's what I thought.
Touch 'em all, partner.
Right over the right-field wall.
[ Chuckles .]
Whoo! Pretty rough out there with those handcuffs.
That was good.
Giving us the b.
B.
King heads-up.
You never did deputize me.
All right, raise your right hand.
I, Keith grant I, Keith grant Do solemnly promise Solemnly promise To accept the lofty position To accept the lofty and honored position Of citizen deputy in the city of Memphis Great city of Memphis Which carries with it the glory of -- which carries with it Glory Love Okay.
Oh, this is a bunch of crap.
Sorry.
Partnership ends here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
I guess I will just make do With the $50,000 reward.
Thunder! What are you doing here? I'm gonna have all your jobs.
The statute of limitations -- stopped running 10 years ago when you left the country, which means you can still be prosecuted for the fox meadows crimes.
Good work, Sutton.
Come on.
[ Thunder grunts .]
[ Harmonica plays .]
Keith: [ Off-key .]
you know my song just to tear your heart away that same old feel a-gonna bring you back to stay when it all comes down look for me I'll still be yours when it all a-comes down look for me look for me
[ Bell rings .]
But you know the saying, "first you mock, and then you beg"? That's exactly what this is.
You got to give it a try.
A facial? Thank you.
I think I'll keep mocking you for a while Your skin does look good.
Nice and shiny.
Hey, Jack.
Is that why you got that? This? It's called a smile.
You might want to give it a try.
Hey, y'all.
Home break-in.
The only thing missing is the floor safe.
The victims are a Mike and Laura Lane.
They left last night on a last-minute trip to Barbados.
Three safes in the last six weeks.
Two's a coincidence.
Three's a crime spree.
How'd they get in? Whoa, never mind.
Looks like they backed a truck through here so they wouldn't have to carry a 400-pound safe out of the house.
Looks like they're back.
Who's back? The fox meadow burglars.
10 years ago, they hit 13 homes, took 13 safes.
Height of the burglaries, they just stopped.
Barry Sanders, Detroit lions.
The running back? He was a suspect? No, at the top of his game, he just quit, walked away.
Retired, no explanation.
It's a simile, son.
Simile.
Phillip, want to check for paint transfers here, and let's see if we can get a molding of this tire track.
Uh, actually, whitehead, uh, that would be a metaphor.
A simile would be something like, um Your tie is a crime against humanity.
What's wrong with my tie? Uh, no, nothing's wrong with your tie -- I was just telling you the difference between a -- my wife gave this to me.
Yeah, it's a great tie.
Dwight: Uh, boys? [ Police radio chatter .]
Sorry, Dwight.
Uh, so, uh, what, you think these guys came out of retirement to do this? I don't care if it's the fox meadows gang or the resurrection of Jesse James.
We're gonna get them this time.
Yes, sir.
Okay, yeah -- of course.
It's your call.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
We certainly will.
Guy problems? The mayor.
He wants these burglaries solved yesterday.
Well, we've pulled the old case files, talked to the original detectives.
Greenback's checking with known fences to see if anybody's unloaded the goods.
We're on it.
Well, you're about to get help in the form of a public appeal and a $50,000 reward for information.
That's a bad idea.
Dwight, when the rich voters get scared, the donations dry up.
That makes the mayor mad.
He calls me, and I get mad.
They're announcing it right now.
Allison: Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Memphis police department, 7th precinct, at the number listed below.
A reward in the amount of $50,000 has been offered by the mayor's office for any and all information leading to Here we go.
The apprehension, prosecution, and conviction And five, four Of anyone involved in these ongoing, serious crimes.
Three, two Because in crimes like these One.
[ Telephones ringing .]
Man: Memphis pd.
Man #2: Memphis pd.
[ Indistinct conversations .]
Blast off.
I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough Memphis I can't get enough oh, well, it makes you tremble and it makes you weak gets in your blood, that Memphis beat oh, yeah [ Telephones ringing, indistinct conversations .]
Sutton: Can you tell us what he looked like, ma'am? He was covered in feathers, which enabled him to fly over the wall.
But the strange part -- that wasn't the strange part? I know it sounds crazy, but it had to be my ex.
And I'm sure her boyfriend was involved, too.
I've been there, amigo.
Dance instructor.
Hip-hop.
I never had a chance.
I'll need an advance on that reward -- say, half.
But I'll come back with something solid.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
No.
Al here is just trying to defraud a peace officer.
Mm.
It was a negotiation.
But I take your point.
I got a civilian needs talking to.
I've been talking to whack jobs all day.
What's so different about -- he knows things he shouldn't.
Mr.
grant.
Detective Hendricks.
This is detective white.
It's low blood sugar.
It's a silent killer.
Well, I must have said something right, to get moved to a private room.
Detective greenback said you know a lot about these burglaries.
You want to tell me what that is? It's the fox meadows crew.
They're back in business.
Could be copycats Or new bad guys.
No, I don't think so.
The Lane house.
This last job Oh, right there.
They waited until the family left town.
And yet, it was a spur-of-the-moment trip.
So, somebody had inside knowledge about the coming and going of rich people in the community.
Exactly like the burglaries 10 years ago.
There's a lot that's different, too.
Like what? Like how they removed the safe from the house instead of blowing it up? That just tells me that they're out of pe4, which is, of course, the British version of c-4.
How'd you know they were using pe4? That's not public knowledge.
No.
You're absolutely right.
There's only two ways that I could know that they were using pe4, and those would be, well, umOne That a baboon could tell you the difference between a c4 blast pattern and a pe4 blast pattern.
[ Chuckles .]
Duh.
Or the other would be That I'm the burglar.
There something you want to get off your chest, Keith? Yes, uh, I would start checking construction sites if I were you.
The Lane house job -- they had to move quickly.
The family left town when the burglars were out of explosives.
That's why the crime was different.
But they're gonna need more explosives -- soon.
Harvey Ellis -- dead.
Only two original suspects to go.
Sutton finished his background check on journal boy, Keith grant -- he's squeaky clean.
He worked for the same accounting firm for 15 years.
Reliable employee.
Those are the ones who end up running down beale street, naked with a samurai sword.
Well, he doesn't exactly give off the criminal-mastermind vibe, you know.
If he didn't do it, why's he obsessed with the case? I mean, either he's guilty or he's a nut job.
[ Laughing .]
Whoa! A little quick to judge, there, aren't we, buddy? Maybe you should start working on that.
All right.
You know what? I've let the joker death smile go long enough.
Come clean.
What's going on, buddy? I'm glad you asked.
I'm re-branding myself.
You want to give that to me again? Well, I read a -- a magazine article.
In order for me to be the best whitehead I can be, it starts with a smile.
But as long as I've known you, you haven't read a magazine that didn't have a hot girl or a car on the cover.
Ah, it's the new me.
The glass is half full.
Hmm, I'm starting to think the glass is half full of bourbon.
[ Indistinct conversations .]
Hendricks, didn't a civilian come in here with a tip about construction sites? Yep.
We sent out a heads-up to construction companies, but don't have the manpower to follow through personally 'cause every crackpot in Tennessee stopped by for coffee.
Well, Anthony construction out in river oaks got hit last night.
They lost their entire inventory of pe4.
These boys are reloaded.
My guess, they're getting ready to strike again -- hard.
You need to go back -- talk to my civilian.
I'm on it.
Let me guess -- I was right.
We think some of your ideas might be worth exploring.
Meaning I was right.
There's enough pe4 out there to blow up half the city, and we need to find it.
All right, but if you're looking for some kind of merit badge, you got the wrong boy scout.
[ Police radio chatter .]
[ Radio clicks, chatter stops .]
Crime never sleeps.
Interesting library.
Yes.
The details of the burglaries, from the earliest to the most recent.
The fruits of my own personal investigation.
Memphis crime -- that seems like an odd hobby, don't you think? Not all Memphis crime -- just fox meadows.
You ever think about football? Maybe bird-watching? Yeah, if you solved them, maybe I could move on to bird-watching.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Uh, that's a client.
Excuse me.
Keith: Hello? Guillermo, calm down.
No.
No can do, buckaroo.
We don't have a warrant.
I'm just s-straightening them up here.
All these sharp edges here could be a safety issue, huh? Whoa.
Copy of police reports.
They're all footnoted.
Interviewed witnesses.
Statistical analysis.
We need these.
Either they're some whacked-out, unabomber manifesto that implicates Keith or -- or breaks the case wide open, we get the real burglars.
Keith: Quite the bookworms, huh? We'd like to take a look at these.
Sure.
You got a warrant? Thought we were on the same team.
Look, I understand you seeing me as a suspect.
That's just good police work.
But until you move past that, I think I will just continue my own investigation.
Where it goes.
I'm just asking for a warrant.
And I'm just asking for a reasonable suspicion I can take to a judge.
I know you checked him out.
What'd you find out? Two traffic tickets in the last 20 years.
Fought them both.
Won them both.
He alibis out for the latest burglaries.
He was at a turbotax convention in Dallas.
When the fox meadows burglaries stopped, the mpd moved on to other investigations -- he didn't.
There could be valuable information in those journals.
You want those journals -- you go to Mr.
grant, and you ask him nicely.
We did.
Nicer.
What do you want me to do, write him a poem? How about you bring him in as a consultant? First, you unleash every lunatic in Memphis on us.
Now you want to partner us up with one? Obviously, he has shown an understanding of the case.
You bring him in, you make him feel like he's part of the team.
That's how you get his books.
[ Indistinct conversations .]
UhExcuse me.
Uh, excuse me! I'd like you all to give a warm welcome to Keith grant.
Reserve officer Keith grant, reporting for duty.
Not -- not a reserve officer, but he is consulting for us.
And he's asked to give a "Consultant.
" Briefing.
"Report.
" Thank you, detective.
[ Clears throat .]
Now, then Uh, fox meadows -- [ Door opens .]
Detective white.
This briefing was scheduled for 0800 hours.
Now that you're here, maybe you could get the lights, and we'll proceed.
My pleasure.
Before we begin, I would just like to say how very proud I am to be serving alongside you brave men and women.
Because to me, the police force -- l-like you said, crime never sleeps, Keith, so how about we hop to it and take a look at your journals? Okay, I will be giving out the journals on an "as needed" basis.
Now, it's hard not to recognize the artistry of the original fox meadows burglaries, especially the Zachary job.
But everyone makes mistakes, and that is how we will catch them.
I have cross-referenced all of the crimes based on the victim's background, the date, the phase of the moon -- what do you have -- astrological signs, too? [ Laughter .]
Sorry I'm late.
Mayor's office.
Oh, hi.
I'm Tanya rice.
I'm lieutenant here at the 7th precinct.
And I want to thank you for lending us your expertise.
UmWow, I Uh, uh [ Chuckles .]
Uh, uh, it is an honor, of course.
And you're not late, so don't -- don't worry about Um Mr.
grant, you were saying that Uh, we were discussing, um Astrology.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, yes.
Yeah, I hate to interrupt with something relevant, but Your list of suspects includes a Miles ahomana.
Whitehead: We checked the original suspects.
Name's not on the list.
[ Slides clicking .]
Dwight: That's Miles hart.
He left the country two years ago, moved to the South pacific.
I checked with customs, Keith.
If he came back, I'd know.
Unless He came through Canada using a different name.
He legally changed his name Mm-hmm.
Over there to Miles ahomana.
Means "thunder.
" "Thunder"? I see.
Mm-hmm.
All right, whitehead, how about we pay a little visit to Mr.
thunder? That's a beautiful blouse.
Hey, so, what's the deal with lieutenant rice? Oh, she get you a little flustered, huh? Can you put in a word? We're out in the field.
This is the real deal.
Yeah, right.
I should probably have a badge.
And a gun.
That's not the point he's making.
[ Doorbell rings .]
Miles: Yeah? Mpd.
And consultant Keith grant.
We're out back.
Come through the house.
So -- o-oh.
[ Soft music plays .]
[ Sighs .]
Long time, no see, detectives.
Or as my people say, "li'ili'I kou laho.
" Your people are rednecks from hickory hill, 10 Miles from here.
What are you talking about? Your return to Memphis coincides with the latest burglaries.
Don't suppose you got an alibi? We were playing boggle.
Boggle? Really? Thunder, just answer the question.
Did you know that polygamy is legal in the Maldives? Really? Well, guess what, partner.
It's not here in Memphis.
What's he doing? Keith, step away from the girls.
I was just admiring her earrings.
They're so beautiful.
Where did you get them? They don't speak English.
E hele aku.
Let's make it tough, from a boggle standpoint.
Yeah, well, I do generally win.
Keith: Guess what.
I have a translation app on my iPhone, and I looked up your island greeting.
He said we have small penises.
I think we're done here.
Hey.
We need to have a conversation about boundaries.
Y-you can't just grope like that.
Did you see her earrings? From the 2003 honaker robbery.
Okay? This is it! This is huge! We know.
We got him for fox meadows! Shh! You want to make it more obvious? Oops.
We have a car on Miles' house.
He goes anywhere, we'll know about it.
I don't know why we didn't arrest him right there for fox meadows.
Statute of limitations on burglary is four years.
We can't arrest him for those burglaries.
So we arrest him, and then we say, "whoops.
Forgot about the statute of limitations.
" But we'd have plausible deniability.
Is that how you do people's taxes? And it is still our first priority.
What? Well, actually, we -- we have a new resource that has led us to a suspect.
That's me.
I'm the resource.
Okay.
There's been another burglary.
Congressman Hayes' house.
They blew the safe with pe4.
Whole house locked up.
Point of entry was a third-floor window.
Acrobatic.
Keith? You're riding with us.
Shotgun! Whitehead! I am addressing a-a group of concerned citizens.
Mayor's orders.
Ah, well, I hope that works out for you.
Well, I need someone involved with the investigation to ride along with.
Well, normally, I would love to, but I've got a crime scene.
T-take him.
I would be honored to squire -- Mr.
grant, um Keith.
Keith.
I think they would Want to talk to a detective.
Dwight: Let's go, Keith.
[ Sighs .]
What you got there? Just -- I wrote out a few notes well, pardon me for saying such, but if you want to calm people down, it's not gonna come from some canned speech.
It's got to come from here, here And end up here.
I'm worried about you.
Thanks for coming.
Right.
There.
Thank you.
Hi.
How y'all doing? Uh, lieutenant rice? I'm lieutenant rice.
Shane vereen.
Nice to meet you.
Hey.
Charlie white.
Pleasure.
Shane, well, thank you so much for having us into your home.
Yeah.
Come on in.
It's my mother's home.
Listen, I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming by.
Oh, it's the least we could do.
Yeah.
Now I hate to be the one to throw you to the wolves, but [ Indistinct conversations .]
Good afternoon, everyone.
Um, thank you so much for being here today.
I am lieutenant Tanya rice of the 7th precinct.
And, um I wish I was here under better circumstances.
Not only [ People murmuring .]
[ Clears throat .]
Mrs.
vereen: Why the hell is she smiling? We're in the middle of a crime wave! Woman: Can you tell us exactly what the Memphis police department has done to stop these break-ins? Yes.
You weren't kidding about the wolves.
[ Murmuring continues .]
Whitehead: Miles is the key.
Uniforms lost the tail they had on him, so he's got no alibi for tonight's burglary.
You think he'd be fool enough to pull off another burglary after we tipped we were looking at him? Well, normally I'd say "no," but this guy [Scoffs.]
You should have seen the way he was strutting around -- total narcissist.
He's got the wives to prove it.
I would say that he would look at this as a challenge.
Forget Miles.
Tonight's break-in was through the third-floor window.
Look at this.
Shattered patella and torn meniscus.
I noticed Miles had a limp when we went and saw him.
This guy would have a hard time climbing three flights of stairs, much less the side of a building like spiderman.
Could be working with some old friends.
No.
They're out of the picture.
Miles just got back to Memphis.
There's no way he'd be able to put a crew together this fast.
[ Cellphone rings .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Cellphone beeps .]
What is it, Keith? All right, just -- just calm down, buddy.
Okay.
I'm on my way.
Keith just got jumped in his apartment.
You all right? Do I look all right? Okay, detective white's checking out the area, make sure whoever did this to you isn't still around.
Is lieutenant rice with you? Just focus, all right? What happened? I, um [ Groans .]
I was opening my front door, and somebody attacked me from behind.
Get a look at anybody? No.
I woke up, had a headache, and saw that they had done this.
The journals are gone.
Tell me you have copies.
No.
Copies wouldn't do them justice.
No.
Photographic memory -- you seem like one of those Savant kind of guys.
Thank you, but no.
I'm sorry.
So we got nothing.
You've had a rough night.
You should get some sleep.
And don't touch my stuff.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
[ Strums guitar .]
Hey! That's a Gibson l4.
Once owned by furry Lewis.
Just Good night, Keith.
Play me a song.
I'm sorry.
It sounded like you asked me to play you a song.
I almost got killed trying to help you.
It's the least I could ask for.
Yeah, I don't usually see your kind of passion for a crime, and I did some checking, Keith, and you do have a record As a victim.
You got mugged and beaten pretty good, around the time the fox meadows crimes started, didn't you? I was walking to my car, with a pizza.
And, um I gave them the pizza and all my money.
The rest was, uh Two weeks in the hospital.
Rachel wanted burgers, and If I had gone to fat Jack's I suppose it never would have Police never caught them.
And While I was in the hospital, I just Started reading about the fox meadows burglaries.
And I started studying them And making notes -- I guess, just to deal with all the frustration.
10 years and one ex-wife later One song.
And it never leaves the room.
[ Strumming guitar .]
The day will come when there's nothing new to see and then you'll know here is where you want to be you know my song used to take your heart away that same old feel is gonna bring you back to stay when it all comes down look for me I'll still be around when it all comes down look for me I'll still be around [ Song ends .]
All right, campfire's over.
[ Cellphone rings, beeps .]
What's up, lieutenant? Hey.
Tell her I said, "hi.
" Keith says, "hi.
" All right.
I'm on my way.
Don't.
[ Sirens wail .]
Not at first.
But of course, I came in to the back terrace, and there it was.
Is everyone all right? Yeah.
Point of entry was the den.
Busted in the French doors.
Weird thing is, is this is where rice and I met with the concerned citizens earlier.
That the victim? Yeah.
This is her son.
I'd better go talk to her.
I'd like you to provide some -- I got this, Pete.
Thank you.
Ma'am, I'm detective Dwight Hendricks.
I already told the other officer.
I came home from the theater.
All of my jewelry, a lot of cash All of it gone.
I don't Shane! No.
Mom, it's fine.
All right, look, I'm worried about you.
I'm just having a drink.
Huh.
I know that "huh.
" What's up? Well, the vereen house.
It's an enclosed backyard.
You could only get to those French doors through the back gate.
Gate's six feet high, security cameras mounted on top.
I mean, we're getting the footage.
Yeah, but the gate was locked, undisturbed.
So you think they came through the house and broke the door to make it seem like that was the point of entry? That's interesting, because I did a background check on the folks at the concerned citizen meeting.
Turns out the son, Shane vereen, was convicted of drug possession and served 30 days in rehab.
He poured himself a double tonight.
Maybe there's a reason he fell off the wagon.
For you.
Thank you.
And this one's for your son.
Is he around, by any chance? No.
What can I do for you, detective? Earlier, you told the patrolman that, uh, you saw "Jersey boys" last night.
When -- when did you get your tickets? Shane gave me the tickets yesterday.
He said a friend couldn't go.
And he didn't want to go with you? What's this really about? Well, I'm just, uh, wondering ifShane needed you out of the house.
I think Shane staged all this 'cause he's involved in the recent burglaries and he needed to distract us.
He's a good boy.
I'm sure he's good to you.
But I'm right, aren't I? He left shortly after you did, with his suitcase.
He wouldn't say where he was going.
Whatever he's done, you've got to bring him in safely.
Please.
I will, ma'am.
I've been working with Shane for nearly a year now.
I'm curious why you guys are looking for him.
Well, he's a suspect in an ongoing investigation, doctor.
My name's Jeffrey.
I don't got a lot of fancy letters behind my name.
I did my training up at millington.
That's a liberal arts college? It's a prison.
I was doing a three-year stretch when I realized I wasn't gonna be able to help myself until I learned to help the people around me.
So when I got out, I got licensed, and I've been helping people like Shane ever since.
Yeah, his, uh, mom said he's been fighting a drug problem? Well, you don't fight drugs, because drugs don't fight fair.
I help my clients to broker a peace treaty between 'em.
You got a 20 on where the vereen kid might have run off to? Sorry.
No 20.
I can tell you that Shane has missed his last few sessions.
Shane has got major abandonment issues.
There's a lot of rage behind it.
Well, we're just looking for anyone he could be working with.
You know if he met anyone here that might have burglary on their rap sheet? I can't help you.
Because of doctor-patient privilege? Because I don't know.
If I thought I could help you bring him in in one piece, I would consider violating the privilege.
[ Scribbling .]
[ Clears throat .]
[ Scribbling stops .]
Thank you.
[ Scoffs .]
You're wasting your time, detective.
I got nothing to say.
Hmm.
We know you did fox meadows.
And I'm guessing that you know we can't touch you on those.
Well, then, can I just come out and say those were a thing of beauty, weren't they? So are the recent ones you helped someone pull.
No, those were hatchet jobs.
I'm insulted you'd think I'd be associated with those in any way.
Those boys are crazy and dangerous.
You know this guy? You like him for the latest burglaries? Certainly looks dumb enough.
Rich kid? Which would make him the perfect inside man.
He knows all the coming and goings of the rich folks of Memphis.
But he would need an accomplice, wouldn't he? A mentor.
[ Scoffs .]
You okay? You want to talk about crazy and dangerous? I spent the last week smiling at a bunch of idiots and spouting inane slogans and taking life advice from my pain-in-the-ass boss! Hey, you need to get away from me.
And of all those imbeciles, you're the dumbest of 'em all! You decide that it's a good idea for you to marry two women? That's crazy! You want me to -- no, wait.
Give him a minute.
All right.
J-just - just -- just sit down.
My ears work better when I'm standing! Okay.
After the fox meadows business and before I left for the tropics, I-I spent a little time in county jail.
Why don't you tell me something that I don't already know.
Hypothetically, while there, I may have met myself a safecracker.
H-hypothetically, I may have taught him a thing or two, including the necessity of having an inside man.
There's [Scoffs.]
Nothing illegal about a couple of crooks swapping stories.
I'm still waiting for a name.
I'm not a rat, detective.
But you're a smart man Hypothetically.
You'll figure it out.
Here's how the next 30 seconds are gonna go.
You're gonna either give me a name Or I'm gonna beat your head into this desk.
Get in there before he pulverizes that man.
Gonna tear up the furniture.
Detective.
Could I borrow you for a second? I need help with that thing, in the place.
Oh, the place.
Yeah.
Good timing, thunder.
You must have been born under a favorable sign.
All right.
Please call me if you hear from him.
Thank you.
[ Keys clacking .]
Talked to all of Shane's friends.
Nobody's heard from him.
One day, the police will realize the value of social networking sites for [Taps key.]
Crime-solving.
Don't tell me Shane's dumb enough to post his whereabouts.
No, and although I am not friends with Shane, while you were spinning your wheels, I was able to friend a friend of his girlfriend, Sally coopersmith.
That's violating about three constitutional amendments I can think of.
That's violatingcyberspaceee constitubelongs to all of us.
She's cute in a kind of Amy Adams kind of way.
Somewhere between "enchanted" and "the fighter.
" Click on the fish picture.
Let me see that.
The only place to get a walleye that big in Tennessee is Boone lake.
[ Keys clacking .]
A mark coopersmith owns a house on Boone lake.
I'm guessing it's the girlfriend's dad.
Four words -- Boone lake road trip! Sounds great, Keith.
I'll go get the sodas and the beef jerky.
Yes, yes! Hey.
Uh, Dwight told me to tell you you got to sit this one out.
It can get pretty dangerous out there.
Come on, now.
It ain't gonna happen.
Hey.
You ever been in a squad car, sirens going, overheads on? Really? It's kind of awesome.
Let's go.
[ Sighs .]
I'm tired of waiting.
Let's go.
No, I want to do this by the book.
Rice is getting a telephonic warrant.
Should be coming in any second.
So, I was looking at the arrest report from the dw liquor store robbery from a couple weeks ago.
Strange choice of reading material.
While I was in [Clears throat.]
Court testifying, you took the call on your own.
You were first on the scene.
You called for back-up, instead of Getting them alone.
It's mpd protocol.
The old whitehead would have run the punks down, you know, and got them himself.
Okay.
It's a great conversation.
We'll have it again real soon.
You're not the same cop you were 15 years ago.
What are you saying? That I'm old? "Der," whitehead.
"Older.
" Just like me.
You know? Maybe you lost a step.
But you're smarter now.
It's a trade-off.
Man, you don't need to re-brand yourself, whatever the hell that means.
You're fine.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
[ Click .]
We're good to go.
Memphis pd! Open up! Here, move away.
I'm gonna bust it down.
So much for being smarter.
[ Rifle cocks .]
Freeze! Or I'll blow your heads off.
All right son, just take it easy.
I-I promised your mom I'd get you back safe.
Wait.
Whoa, whoa.
When I heard people walking up towards the house, I-I thought it was Who's got you more scared than the police? Look, I did the first break-in two weeks ago.
It was a "screw you" to my rich friends for turning their back on me, after I embarrassed them with my problem.
Who'd you do it with? That one burglary -- the first one -- that should have been plenty.
All right, you have to understand, it was never about the money.
But he wouldn't let me stop! Just give us the name of your partner, and I'm sure the d.
A.
Will cut you a break, all right? We'll tell him you're fighting a drug problem.
No, you can't fight drugs.
It's not A fair fight.
Your partner's Jeffrey Gibbs, your drug counselor, isn't it? Your polynesian Romeo was at county lock-up same time as Gibbs.
Must have been where Miles passed along his wisdom.
Gibbs must have seen Shane coming a mile away.
Angry, mixed-up rich kid? Perfect inside man.
The way he beat him up like that? It takes a real monster to prey on parolees and addicts.
Gibbs keeps a storage facility.
If it's got any of the stolen property from the burglaries, we've got him dead to rights.
What the hell are you doing here, Keith? That is the thanks I get for solving the case with you.
You ditch me.
If it wasn't for my police scanner, I never would have even heard about it.
Just say the word, and I'll tase the little bastard.
I liked him better before.
Look I'm sorry, Keith.
You know, you've been a huge help.
[ Handcuffs click .]
And I'm sorry about that, too.
I truly mean it.
Aah! Dwight! You can't -- shh! Stay.
You can't -- it's going dow-- [ sighs .]
[ Sliding doors open, close .]
Here it is.
This rolex is from the Hayes burglary.
These bearer bonds are from the Lane job.
We got him.
[ Sliding doors close .]
[ Blues music plays .]
[ Volume increases .]
[ Music continues .]
Keith.
What kind of idiot blasts music during a police operation? He's not an idiot -- usually.
I think he's giving us a heads-up.
[ Music continues .]
Aah! [ Gun cocks .]
[ Music continues .]
[ Groans .]
How's that feel, doc? That's what I thought.
Touch 'em all, partner.
Right over the right-field wall.
[ Chuckles .]
Whoo! Pretty rough out there with those handcuffs.
That was good.
Giving us the b.

King heads-up.
You never did deputize me.
All right, raise your right hand.

I guess I will just make do With the $50,000 reward.
Thunder! What are you doing here? I'm gonna have all your jobs.
The statute of limitations -- stopped running 10 years ago when you left the country, which means you can still be prosecuted for the fox meadows crimes.
Good work, Sutton.
Come on.
