Blue Bloods s07e14 Episode Script
In & Out
1 JAMIE: We've been riding together three years, I'm just finding out about this now? 'Cause I knew you'd freak out.
There are some things that just aren't right, Eddie, and this is one of them.
My grandparents lived in Philly, and we used to go to the games.
Seriously? The Flyers? You're not even allowed to mention that name in my father's house! Don't you think you're overreacting a little bit? DISPATCHER: All units, No.
confines of the 12th precinct, 10-13 from the officer.
Officer shot, east of 52nd and Sutton Units responding.
(sirens wailing) (tires screeching) POLICE OFFICER: NYPD! (indistinct chatter) Anyone down there? OFFICER: Nothing, Reagan.
We got nothing.
You see anything? He did say just east of 52nd and Sutton, right? Yeah, but no RMP, no partners, no nothing.
(sighs) What do you think? (exhales) Central, slow it down at this location.
That's gonna be a 10-90X.
No officer down at this location.
Repeat, no officer down.
I think we got a false alarm.
Hey, don't lean on the car.
Step away.
What do we got? Two males, both D.
O.
A.
, multiple gunshot wounds.
Pretty sure the guy on the ground is Damon Gates.
Looks like he tried to make a run for it.
Damon Gates.
The Godfather of the Ace Double Treys Damon Gates? That's their headquarters over there.
Gates was coming out when he got hit.
BAEZ: Anyone see the shooter? One guy saw a dark sedan across the street.
Claims he didn't see any occupants.
More likely, he wanted to keep breathing, given the vics.
Thank you.
Gang hit? It's got to be.
Warrior Kings and Ace Double Treys have been going at it for months.
(sighs) If the Kings executed the leader of the ADTs Then the ADTs are gonna hit back.
Hard.
Blue Bloods 7x14 In & Out GORMLEY: And we had no idea this was in the works? My unit had zero Intel Warrior Kings were taking out Gates.
Because? "Because?" Because your unit's firing on all cylinders? We've got undercovers inside both gangs, they had nothing.
This hit came out of left field.
Violence between the Kings and ADTs have been escalating for months.
All the more reason you should've seen this coming.
What we saw were these guys taking out each other's soldiers.
So, performing a community service.
That's bar talk.
I don't want to hear that.
And sooner or later we are going to have collateral damage, civilian casualties.
And that is anything but a community service.
Keep me apprised, Bryce.
Yes, sir.
(sighs) (door opens, closes) Helfond's in a tough spot.
Tough spot's pretty much the job description, Sid.
I meant taking over from Chief Kent.
Guys like Donald Kent don't come along every day.
And in Don's case, they get assassinated for it.
The press is looking for a statement off the shooting.
Walks like a gang hit, talks like a gang hit.
The likelihood of an all-out gang war on the streets of New York? Your statement? Not gonna happen.
(distant siren wailing) Came up empty on the canvass.
Yeah.
No weapon, no witnesses.
At least, no one with the balls to talk.
Two guys shot dead on that crowded block.
Somebody saw something.
You know the rules.
What, no cops? That rule is meant to be broken.
ADTs don't want the shooter arrested.
They want him dead.
ADTs want every single King in the city dead.
That's what they want.
My old boss used to say that gang wars cut down on paperwork.
Well, look.
Bad guys killing bad guys is not the worst thing in the world.
The problem is so many bad guys have the worst aim in the world, which is bad for civilians.
And there's always more bangers to take their place.
High-profile hit like this, the Kings are gonna do what? They're gonna use one of their top soldiers so they don't screw it up.
See anything? Couple of these guys are deceased.
Two are doing time upstate.
Hang on.
Look at this.
Ronald Lloyd.
Released a few months ago for doing four years on an attempted murder charge.
I know Ronald Lloyd.
He was a person of interest in multiple homicides.
Do you think he's our shooter? I think we're about to find out.
I just don't understand why someone is making these fake radio calls.
Yeah.
Boss said it's been happening more and more over the past year.
- Intelligence unit's working on it.
- Any arrests? No, just been talking to a bunch of scanner buffs.
Oh, you mean losers who listen to police calls all day.
I've met some of these guys.
You know, most of them are harmless.
For them, it's the ultimate cop show.
Except this is real life for us.
Yeah.
You know, it used to take some skill to make a store-bought radio transmit on a PD frequency.
But now, it's just a lot easier.
Well, then the department needs to limit access to our radio channels.
That would cost the city billions.
Unauthorized transmissions divert resources, and they put real victims in danger, not to mention cops.
And for the few knuckleheads that make these calls, it's their idea of a good time.
That's because they're not risking their lives answering those calls.
We go in this joint looking for a fight, we're gonna get one.
Maybe we should call for backup.
Why? What fun would backup be? Stay alert.
(indistinct chatter) Step aside.
It may take a while, but step aside! Y'all must be lost.
Actually, we're not.
We're looking for Ronald Lloyd.
Man, I don't give a damn who you looking for.
You seen him? You assed out.
Ronald ain't around here.
You know, I smell the recreational usage of marijuana.
Write me a ticket, and take off.
How about this instead? I'll just toss the whole joint, and see what other goodies we can find.
We could start with you, tough guy.
Detectives! Looking for me? How you doing, Ronald? Good.
Can't complain.
Me, neither.
We're gonna need you to take a ride with us.
We got to ask you some questions about the murder of Damon Gates.
Oh, yeah.
I heard about that.
Yeah.
Somebody did him in real good.
(laughter) Pretty sure his crew's not laughing.
WOMAN: Oh, well! Let's go.
I'm not so sure about that.
BAEZ: Back up.
WOMAN 2: Let's get this started.
Turn your crew loose on me, and I can turn this nine loose on you.
But then we're both gonna have a problem.
At ease, Kings.
It's a nice day for a ride.
Good call.
After you.
(tires screech) The call said three gunmen.
You guys take the left! You set? Let's go.
(indistinct chatter) Go, go.
(classical music playing on radio) We had a call of an armed robbery here? No robbery here.
Just you guys.
Another false alarm.
More fun and games.
DISPATCHER: Units confines of the 12th precinct, report of a 10-30 at 1912 6th Ave.
Location is Rampart Bank.
Shots fired.
Reports of a female victim.
Think this one's real? That's our dispatcher.
That's all the way on the other side the precinct.
(door opens) Mr.
Lloyd.
We understand you were released from Green Haven four months ago.
Yep.
Sure do miss the pastrami up in there.
Say again? Green Haven runs a kosher food program.
Oh.
Okay, Rabbi.
What can you tell us about the Damon Gates murder? The brother got what was coming to him.
How's that? You got rules, we got rules.
You break them, you pay the price.
And what rules did Damon Gates break? Doesn't really matter much now, do it? It matters to us.
Please.
PD don't give a damn about street justice.
Well, I wouldn't exactly refer to the crap that you guys pull as justice.
Are we done here, Daniel? No, we're not done.
Where were you today at the time of the Gates killing? You ain't hanging that on me.
Answer the question.
I had an appointment.
You're gonna have to do better than that, Ronald.
I was with Ramirez.
One of your Warrior King dirtbags? Eh, not quite.
My parole officer.
So you're saying you were reporting to your P.
O.
at the time of the hit? Same time every week.
Write down the name and number of your P.
O.
We'll check it out.
Be my guest.
Have at it.
I'm out of here.
Actually, you're not going anywhere.
We picked you up in a bar, where you were associating with gang members.
That's a parole violation, so you can sit your ass down.
You'll cool your jets in a holding cell while we visit your P.
O.
Can a brother at least get a coffee? No, but I'll bring you a knish.
What happened? We got a double homicide on Warrior King turf.
Both gang members? Yeah.
Vics were shot, then had their throats cut.
Signature of the Ace Double Treys.
Rank? Not just soldiers.
Collateral damage? None so far.
In my office.
The mayor called, sir.
In a minute.
The new leader of the ADTs is willing to negotiate a truce.
Willing and able? Sir? Is he really the boss or just saying he is? Good point.
Multiple sources confirming.
What about the head of the Warrior Kings? Won't play ball.
Well, squeeze 'em.
Threaten to reopen every murder case he's close to.
That won't work, boss.
Well, make it work.
The leader of the Warrior Kings is already in prison.
He runs the gang from his cell, up in Otisville.
It's Mario Hunt.
(sharp exhale) Landed up in Otisville, where he took over his gang.
HELFOND: Where he feels free to stonewall us.
What's that mean? He put out word he'd take a sit-down with you and only you.
So what you're bringing me-- I'm invited to negotiate with the man who murdered my friend and his wife.
That's my option here.
He can't negotiate with a guy who killed an NYPD chief in cold blood.
You get that, right? What I get, it's my job here to give our boss the options, no matter how troubling those options are.
So you want to kill the messenger, go ahead.
GORMLEY: Nobody's saying anything about Stop.
Set it up.
Ronald Lloyd's been reporting to me since his release from Green Haven.
Keeping his nose clean? Well, I've never received any reports to the contrary.
We picked him up at a Warrior King bar yesterday.
I'll check it out.
If he screwed up, I'll violate him, and he can face a parole hearing.
Actually, we're not looking to put him away on a parole violation.
So what are we talking about? We're looking at him in connection with a double homicide.
Surprised to hear that.
Ronald seemed determined to turn his life around.
The leader of the AD street gang, and his driver, were murdered yesterday.
Ronald says he was here with you at the time of the murder.
Yeah, Ronald came in for his scheduled face-to-face meeting yesterday.
12:15 p.
m.
We met for approximately half an hour.
Gates was hit at 12:30 in Queens.
Which would make it kind of impossible for him to kill Gates at that time.
Looks like Lloyd's not your guy.
Hey, Chris.
How you been? Officer Reagan.
It's great to see you.
Good to see you.
This is my partner, Eddie Janko.
Hey.
Pleasure.
Hey, your partner tell you how he saved my business? No, it was no big deal.
(chuckles): Come on, man.
I got robbed three months after I opened.
No insurance.
If Jamie hadn't caught the guys, located my merchandise, I'd have had to close down.
Well, I'm glad that it worked out.
So how is business? Whole world's plugged into something.
Keeps me busy.
Yeah, that's why we're here.
We've had a rash of unauthorized transmissions over the PD radio.
Yeah, been a lot of chatter about that on the scanner sites.
Well, it's nothing to brag about.
Trust me, nobody's bragging.
They're pissed off.
See, 99% of these scanner buffs, they just listen to police calls.
You always get a few trolls.
You know some of these guys, Chris.
Anybody we should be looking at? Yeah, this kid-- he's been in here a few times.
Still in high school.
Calls himself "Shadow.
" Major attitude.
Dresses like a punk, but he's a serious wire-head.
Knows the technology cold.
Do you know where we could find him? Cybercafé on 25th.
It's big with the buffs.
Thanks, Chris.
We're gonna check it out.
Anytime.
(siren wailing) (sighs) All right, thanks.
Hey.
Ace Double Trey soldiers, every one of 'em.
Witnesses say the gunman approached on foot and opened fire.
DANNY: Let me guess, nobody got a look at his face.
You got it.
This thing is spinning out of control.
OFFICER: Detectives? We got a fifth victim, a civilian.
(girl crying) She's just a baby.
How's she doing? Took a bullet in her leg, lost some blood.
Could be worse.
(quivering) You know, I heard a rumor that the bravest girl in all of New York City is here tonight.
And I think I just found her.
You stay brave for me, okay? You, too, Mom.
All right? Get her out of here.
It's gonna be okay.
(girl sobbing) It's eight bodies in 48 hours.
And even if we figure out who hit Gates, it's not gonna stop the bodies from piling up.
(indistinct radio chatter) Excuse me.
Yo, why are you hassling me? Are you Shadow? What about it? Do yourself a favor, drop the attitude.
What's your real name? Tommy O'Rourke, but I don't go by that.
For a guy who listens to cop radio 24/7, you just don't seem excited to see us, Tommy.
Just 'cause I listen don't mean I like you guys.
Yeah? What'd we ever do to you? You're doing it right now.
Getting in my face when I didn't do nothing.
That's a really nice radio you got there.
I bet you could transmit over the NYPD frequency with that bad boy.
Yeah, but that's against the law.
A lady got shot yesterday because some joker was making false radio calls.
Well, if you don't want to get messed with, then protect your wack system.
Well, it's your lucky day, Tommy.
Oh, you gonna leave me the hell alone now? Better.
You're gonna get to talk to a real live NYPD detective.
Let's go, get up.
When we get in the car, we are gonna make a real live radio call all about you.
Yeah, all right, thank you.
Nothing on my end.
Lab come up with anything on the slugs they took out of Gates and his driver? Nothing that'll lead us to the shooter.
I cannot believe we had to cut that son of a bitch Lloyd loose.
He alibied out, Danny.
Alibied out? Come on.
This hit was totally his M.
O.
Drive-by shooting with a machine gun at close range.
"Warrior Kings" in blood next to the vic's body on the ground.
We just got to keep digging.
Detectives? - What? - This is Peter Chen.
Says he's got some information on the Gates homicide.
You don't say.
Thank you.
Okay, Mr.
Chen, what can you tell us? I was walking to work when it happened.
Saw the whole thing.
And you're just coming forward now? I heard a little girl got shot today.
These gangs have destroyed our neighborhood.
What can you tell us about the shooter? You get a look at him? Can you describe him? Six feet tall, skull earring, tattoo on his neck of a bloody knife.
Sound like someone you know? It can't be him, Danny.
Let's see.
One second.
Okay, Mr.
Chen, do any of these gentlemen look like the shooter to you? Number five.
He shot those guys.
Number five.
Are you sure? That's him.
All right, Mr.
Chen, why don't you have a seat over there.
We'll be with you in a moment.
Thanks.
How the hell could Ronald Lloyd be meeting with his P.
O.
and shooting Damon Gates at the same time? That is a damn good question.
(lock buzzes) Appreciate you coming all the way up here.
I understand you're running the Warrior Kings now.
I ain't saying that.
I know who I'm talking to.
You ordered the execution of the head of the ADTs.
He was taking things that wasn't his.
I don't care how it started.
I want it stopped.
I'm with that.
All this blood's bad for business.
Then why not come to the table? Happy to.
(chains rattle) Long as I come in person.
Look, man, I got about five more years up in here.
You get me out, this war goes away.
I don't have the power to release a Federal prisoner.
You the most powerful cop in the whole country.
You make a phone call, it's done.
You have the power to stop it.
So do you, Frank.
I mean, but the difference between me and you? You actually care how many folks get killed out there.
I don't.
(chains rattle) Get me the hell out of here.
You have a great day, Frank.
(lock buzzes) (gate slams) Put in the call to a friend of mine, a parole supervisor from Ramirez's office.
Why? Because something doesn't add up.
So Ramirez has to be dirty? That's not what I said.
You're checking her out with her boss.
Come on, this is called police work.
And, as it turns out, she's recently divorced and is having serious money problems.
So you're thinking Ramirez took cash from Lloyd to cover his ass in the Gates homicide? Wouldn't be the first time an officer of the law took the money.
She's been dealing with skels and gang members for years.
Suddenly, she sells out? I don't know, but that's what I'm trying to find out! I looked into Ramirez's record.
13 years, exemplary service.
Okay, so we're just supposed to assume that Mr.
Chen lied when he I.
D.
'd Lloyd? Maybe he made a mistake.
I'd take the word of a veteran P.
O.
over a scared civilian any day.
Look, I hate jamming up an officer of the law as much as you do, okay? But if that's where this thing leads us, that's where I'm going! Where are you going? (sighs) It was taken the day of.
Good to see you, Thomas.
You, too, sir.
I'm glad you transferred to the gang unit.
Kind of makes it a family business.
This thing with the Warrior Kings and Ace Double Treys, hell of a mess.
Yes, it is.
So you know what I'm up against.
(sighs) In exchange for negotiating a truce, Mario Hunt is demanding that we commute the rest of his sentence.
The guy who killed my parents, murdered one of your chiefs.
Thomas, a federal judge has already signed off on it.
You can't.
(sighs, swallows) (drawer opens, closes) His blood's not on it, I washed it off.
But my father's blood is still on this shield, Commissioner, in another, just-as-real sense.
I know that.
I like to keep that here with me.
Your dad always had my back, I like to think that in some way, he still does.
But I'm not so sure, in this instance, that your dad wouldn't think what I have to do is appeasement.
Appeasement's not an option if you care about the lives of the innocent.
You sound just like him.
That's just the way he said it.
Just remember you had his trust.
Whatever you have to do, my dad's got your back.
(sighs) Thank you, Thomas.
Hey, just talking to the detectives who interviewed Shadow.
Is her our guy? Nope.
TARU confirmed that the unauthorized transmissions didn't come from his radio.
Did he offer up any information? The detective said he wasn't all that cooperative.
Ooh, there's a shocker.
Right.
Hey.
Hey, Shadow.
Hey, listen.
Sorry we had to bring you in.
- Yeah, right.
- All these false alarms are gonna get someone killed.
You know why people mess with the cops? 'Cause the cops mess with everyone.
Hey, we got a job to do.
So do your job and leave me the hell alone.
Hey, and you don't care if innocent people get hurt? They get hurt every day and you guys don't do a damn thing about it.
I guess you're not paying too close attention to what's coming in over that radio.
My older brother got killed two years ago, just standing in the street.
Cops didn't do jack.
We're sorry to hear about your brother.
The thing is hard as we try, we can't catch everybody.
Can I go now? Yeah.
I'm not cool with this, Danny.
Staking out a parole officer's residence Okay, well, would you be cool if Lloyd walked away from a double murder? Of course not.
Okay, then we do what we got to do.
Look, let's talk about what we know, okay? My buddy confirmed that she was divorced.
Is that illegal now? No, but we also know she had money problems.
Stopped showing up at work, started behaving erratically, according to her friends.
Then suddenly, four months ago, she's on top of the world.
Right at the exact same time that Lloyd gets out of the joint.
Which proves nothing.
Well, does a guy picking Lloyd out of a photo array prove anything? Eyewitnesses have been wrong before, Danny.
And so have parole off officers.
Well, what do you know? There's Lloyd.
(camera snapping) I don't believe it.
Wow.
You were right about one thing.
He didn't have to blackmail her.
That guy knows how to come up with an alibi.
NICKY: It almost sounds like they played a bunch of video games and decided to go out and play it in real life.
Or maybe that's what it sounds like, but It's anything but a game.
I'm just saying, I mean, even the names.
Warrior Kings, Ace Double Treys? The names always change, but that element seems to stay the same.
Young, hopeless and vicious.
LINDA: If they catch the guy that killed Gates, does that mean the gang war's over? Well, it's not that easy, Linda.
What do you mean? What he means is gangs have their own system of justice.
And it doesn't include judges or juries.
Just executioners.
Are they just gonna keep killing each other? I'm not worried about them.
ERIN: How do you broker a deal between two sides when neither side respects your authority? No truce is gonna stop those animals from killing one another anyway.
LINDA: We had an ADT in the ER last night, three bullet holes in his chest, all of 14-years-old.
(groans) Well, leave a light on.
Ain't the first time and it won't be the last.
Why would you join a gang if there's such a high chance of you getting killed? For a lot of these guys, gangs take the place of their family.
Some family.
Pretty sad substitute.
When you don't have anything to compare it to.
ERIN: Exactly.
Tough guy on the corner says, "I'm gonna take care of you"? For that kid, he's been waiting to hear those words his whole life.
And the next thing you know, you're in Linda's hospital with three slugs in you.
And your O.
G.
Godfather has no more use for you, because you can no longer do his dirty work for him.
How do you negotiate with scum like that, like Mario Hunt? JACK: He was the one that killed the Kents.
How are you gonna deal with him? There's no truce that means anything without him signing off.
But how, Dad? You can't cut a deal with him.
I'm gonna try.
But the Kents were your friends.
You bet.
(sighs) It's complicated, Sean.
Not to me.
Not for me, either.
Mario Hunt should rot in the prison.
You can't negotiate with gangbangers.
HENRY: Just like terrorists.
Not going anywhere.
I wish it were that easy.
I say let 'em work it out themselves.
And if they don't? People die.
Innocent people.
Exactly.
Innocent people.
Yeah, but if you sit down with these guys, then it's like we're giving in and then you're just asking for more trouble.
Exactly.
Tell that to the mother whose little girl got shot.
Tell her we're sorry, but it's cast in stone who we will and will not try to reach.
I'm just saying I know what you're saying.
(sighs) See you next week, and I don't want to hear you've been showing up late for work again.
Ah, you're really hands-on with these guys, huh? Well, you have to be or else they just screw up again.
If they do, you've got a responsibility to make sure they pay for it, right? That's the job.
What about this? This part of your job, too? I don't know what to say.
Well, the state inspector general has plenty to say.
I never meant for it to happen.
I didn't see Lloyd twisting your arm to make it happen last night.
I was in a bad place when I met Ronald, but I know it's not an excuse.
Damn right it's not.
I made a big mistake.
No, you made two mistakes.
First one was betraying your oath and sleeping with Lloyd in the first place.
The second one was lying to us, telling us Lloyd was here when he was out committing a double homicide.
Also known as hindering prosecution in the first degree.
You have something to say? Ronald called me from your precinct, told me.
He promised he didn't kill Gates.
We got an eyewitness says he did.
I swear I never would've covered for him if I thought he did those murders.
You never should've covered for him at all.
What happens now? Your career as a P.
O.
is finished but you could possibly help yourself on the legal side.
How? We got to get Lloyd to confess to killing Gates and his driver.
How are you gonna get him to do that? We won't.
You will.
You wanted to see us, Sarge? You got a visitor.
Hey, what you doing here, Shadow? Look, I was pissed you dragged me down here when I didn't do anything, but I know why you did it.
It was nothing personal.
Yeah, I guess I got a temper.
Yeah, me, too.
Look, I don't always agree with what you guys do, but it takes guts, and I'd never make a false call ever.
That's good to hear.
But there are other guys out there who do, and they make the rest of us look bad.
Do you have something you want to tell us? I overheard two guys talking about the robbery where the lady got shot.
Where was this? At the cyber cafe where you guys found me.
They've hung out there a few times.
What did they say? Talked about how it was an easy job, about the people in the bank, like they were there.
Who are these guys? One of them's a hard-core radio head named Richie, and the other guy's kind of scary.
I definitely wouldn't mess with him.
Did you mention these guys to the detective that questioned you? No, he treated me like a dumb kid, so that's what I acted like.
Let's go find these guys.
They're coming out.
Copy that.
JANKO: Excuse me, gentlemen.
Do me a favor, take your hands out of your pockets.
That's a nice radio.
Afternoon, officers.
We're investigating a bank robbery a few blocks from here.
You guys know anything about that? Nah.
Really? 'Cause you two, you fit the description of the perps.
Listen to police calls on that radio? (officers shouting) Hey.
(tires screech) (grunting) Gun! I got a gun! (grunts) Got him! JAMIE: Hands behind your back.
Give me your right hand.
In the car.
I'm willing to bet that this gun matches the bullet that they pulled out of the victim in the bank.
I'm betting this radio is the unauthorized transmission that had us chasing our tails.
Pretty nice takedown.
Well, we couldn't have done it without you, Shadow.
Uh, damn straight.
Ah.
If you're so interested in the NYPD, you ever think about joining up? No, I don't think I could rock the uniform.
We were thinking about the Intelligence Division.
They hire civilian analysts.
JANKO: You know they got internships.
If you're interested, we'll put in a good word.
I'll think about it.
In the meantime, don't mess up.
I'll be listening.
Hey, what are you doing here, baby? I needed to see you.
Come in.
She's in.
Lloyd is smart.
I hope she can pull this off.
It's kind of risky you being here.
I'm glad to see you.
We need to talk.
Those detectives came to my office again.
They have a witness who claims he saw you kill Gates.
Doesn't matter.
Just stick to the story and we're cool.
RAMIREZ: There's surveillance video of everyone who comes in and out of Corrections, Ronald.
It's just a matter of time till they ask to see the tape for the day Gates was killed, and see you're not on it.
So, just pull the tapes, baby.
I already put my career on the line for you once.
If I'm gonna do it again you need to tell me the truth.
Did you kill Gates? Tell me the truth, Ronald.
It's the only way I can help you.
Look, I was trying to protect you, all right? If you knew I killed those boys, you'd have to do something about it.
Here we go.
Police! Bitch, you sold me out! (shouts) Drop it! I'll blow her brains out right here, right now! You don't want to do that.
Cover me.
Ronald, no! No! I'm walking out of here, all right? You're leaving here in cuffs or a body bag, you hear me? Now put the gun down! (whimpering) She dies, it's on you.
(cries) Drop the gun! Ronald, listen to me.
Hey! Look at me.
You're a smart guy.
Okay? Why don't you be smart now.
Put that thing down so nobody gets hurt.
Drop it! (shouts) Good job, Christine.
Danny! Yeah? 5-4 detectives, 10-13.
We have an officer shot at this location.
DANNY: Nah, it can't be.
Hey, Ramirez, you hang in there, okay? Guess I was wrong about him.
DANNY: Ramirez? Ramirez! Wasn't easy getting the feds to sign off on your release.
They stuck my ass in Vermont.
I don't ski and I don't make candles.
I hit the streets.
You get your truce.
Everybody wins.
Well almost everybody.
Okay, don't do that.
Don't go comparing what you've lost to to what I've lost.
My old man wasn't no chief of police.
I never knew my old man.
Matter of fact, I had to fight for everything I ever got.
You didn't fight for it.
You stole for it.
You lied for it.
You murdered for it.
Don't flatter yourself.
Whatever, man.
Just get me the hell up out of here.
(sighs) Well that's not gonna happen.
No? No.
That's how you want to play it? Okay, then when the bodies keep on dropping, that's on you.
There's a new deal.
I picked up the phone and got you transferred to USP Atlanta.
You can't do that.
No, I can't, but the feds can.
I understand the Ace Double Treys run things in Atlanta.
Cops ain't supposed to have people murdered, Frank.
In a perfect world, Mario.
But this ain't a perfect world.
Here's the deal.
The war stops now.
You can finish your sentence here, in your house.
If not, it's Atlanta, in their house.
The offer's good for the next ten seconds.
Just when things were going so well for you.
There are some things that just aren't right, Eddie, and this is one of them.
My grandparents lived in Philly, and we used to go to the games.
Seriously? The Flyers? You're not even allowed to mention that name in my father's house! Don't you think you're overreacting a little bit? DISPATCHER: All units, No.
confines of the 12th precinct, 10-13 from the officer.
Officer shot, east of 52nd and Sutton Units responding.
(sirens wailing) (tires screeching) POLICE OFFICER: NYPD! (indistinct chatter) Anyone down there? OFFICER: Nothing, Reagan.
We got nothing.
You see anything? He did say just east of 52nd and Sutton, right? Yeah, but no RMP, no partners, no nothing.
(sighs) What do you think? (exhales) Central, slow it down at this location.
That's gonna be a 10-90X.
No officer down at this location.
Repeat, no officer down.
I think we got a false alarm.
Hey, don't lean on the car.
Step away.
What do we got? Two males, both D.
O.
A.
, multiple gunshot wounds.
Pretty sure the guy on the ground is Damon Gates.
Looks like he tried to make a run for it.
Damon Gates.
The Godfather of the Ace Double Treys Damon Gates? That's their headquarters over there.
Gates was coming out when he got hit.
BAEZ: Anyone see the shooter? One guy saw a dark sedan across the street.
Claims he didn't see any occupants.
More likely, he wanted to keep breathing, given the vics.
Thank you.
Gang hit? It's got to be.
Warrior Kings and Ace Double Treys have been going at it for months.
(sighs) If the Kings executed the leader of the ADTs Then the ADTs are gonna hit back.
Hard.
Blue Bloods 7x14 In & Out GORMLEY: And we had no idea this was in the works? My unit had zero Intel Warrior Kings were taking out Gates.
Because? "Because?" Because your unit's firing on all cylinders? We've got undercovers inside both gangs, they had nothing.
This hit came out of left field.
Violence between the Kings and ADTs have been escalating for months.
All the more reason you should've seen this coming.
What we saw were these guys taking out each other's soldiers.
So, performing a community service.
That's bar talk.
I don't want to hear that.
And sooner or later we are going to have collateral damage, civilian casualties.
And that is anything but a community service.
Keep me apprised, Bryce.
Yes, sir.
(sighs) (door opens, closes) Helfond's in a tough spot.
Tough spot's pretty much the job description, Sid.
I meant taking over from Chief Kent.
Guys like Donald Kent don't come along every day.
And in Don's case, they get assassinated for it.
The press is looking for a statement off the shooting.
Walks like a gang hit, talks like a gang hit.
The likelihood of an all-out gang war on the streets of New York? Your statement? Not gonna happen.
(distant siren wailing) Came up empty on the canvass.
Yeah.
No weapon, no witnesses.
At least, no one with the balls to talk.
Two guys shot dead on that crowded block.
Somebody saw something.
You know the rules.
What, no cops? That rule is meant to be broken.
ADTs don't want the shooter arrested.
They want him dead.
ADTs want every single King in the city dead.
That's what they want.
My old boss used to say that gang wars cut down on paperwork.
Well, look.
Bad guys killing bad guys is not the worst thing in the world.
The problem is so many bad guys have the worst aim in the world, which is bad for civilians.
And there's always more bangers to take their place.
High-profile hit like this, the Kings are gonna do what? They're gonna use one of their top soldiers so they don't screw it up.
See anything? Couple of these guys are deceased.
Two are doing time upstate.
Hang on.
Look at this.
Ronald Lloyd.
Released a few months ago for doing four years on an attempted murder charge.
I know Ronald Lloyd.
He was a person of interest in multiple homicides.
Do you think he's our shooter? I think we're about to find out.
I just don't understand why someone is making these fake radio calls.
Yeah.
Boss said it's been happening more and more over the past year.
- Intelligence unit's working on it.
- Any arrests? No, just been talking to a bunch of scanner buffs.
Oh, you mean losers who listen to police calls all day.
I've met some of these guys.
You know, most of them are harmless.
For them, it's the ultimate cop show.
Except this is real life for us.
Yeah.
You know, it used to take some skill to make a store-bought radio transmit on a PD frequency.
But now, it's just a lot easier.
Well, then the department needs to limit access to our radio channels.
That would cost the city billions.
Unauthorized transmissions divert resources, and they put real victims in danger, not to mention cops.
And for the few knuckleheads that make these calls, it's their idea of a good time.
That's because they're not risking their lives answering those calls.
We go in this joint looking for a fight, we're gonna get one.
Maybe we should call for backup.
Why? What fun would backup be? Stay alert.
(indistinct chatter) Step aside.
It may take a while, but step aside! Y'all must be lost.
Actually, we're not.
We're looking for Ronald Lloyd.
Man, I don't give a damn who you looking for.
You seen him? You assed out.
Ronald ain't around here.
You know, I smell the recreational usage of marijuana.
Write me a ticket, and take off.
How about this instead? I'll just toss the whole joint, and see what other goodies we can find.
We could start with you, tough guy.
Detectives! Looking for me? How you doing, Ronald? Good.
Can't complain.
Me, neither.
We're gonna need you to take a ride with us.
We got to ask you some questions about the murder of Damon Gates.
Oh, yeah.
I heard about that.
Yeah.
Somebody did him in real good.
(laughter) Pretty sure his crew's not laughing.
WOMAN: Oh, well! Let's go.
I'm not so sure about that.
BAEZ: Back up.
WOMAN 2: Let's get this started.
Turn your crew loose on me, and I can turn this nine loose on you.
But then we're both gonna have a problem.
At ease, Kings.
It's a nice day for a ride.
Good call.
After you.
(tires screech) The call said three gunmen.
You guys take the left! You set? Let's go.
(indistinct chatter) Go, go.
(classical music playing on radio) We had a call of an armed robbery here? No robbery here.
Just you guys.
Another false alarm.
More fun and games.
DISPATCHER: Units confines of the 12th precinct, report of a 10-30 at 1912 6th Ave.
Location is Rampart Bank.
Shots fired.
Reports of a female victim.
Think this one's real? That's our dispatcher.
That's all the way on the other side the precinct.
(door opens) Mr.
Lloyd.
We understand you were released from Green Haven four months ago.
Yep.
Sure do miss the pastrami up in there.
Say again? Green Haven runs a kosher food program.
Oh.
Okay, Rabbi.
What can you tell us about the Damon Gates murder? The brother got what was coming to him.
How's that? You got rules, we got rules.
You break them, you pay the price.
And what rules did Damon Gates break? Doesn't really matter much now, do it? It matters to us.
Please.
PD don't give a damn about street justice.
Well, I wouldn't exactly refer to the crap that you guys pull as justice.
Are we done here, Daniel? No, we're not done.
Where were you today at the time of the Gates killing? You ain't hanging that on me.
Answer the question.
I had an appointment.
You're gonna have to do better than that, Ronald.
I was with Ramirez.
One of your Warrior King dirtbags? Eh, not quite.
My parole officer.
So you're saying you were reporting to your P.
O.
at the time of the hit? Same time every week.
Write down the name and number of your P.
O.
We'll check it out.
Be my guest.
Have at it.
I'm out of here.
Actually, you're not going anywhere.
We picked you up in a bar, where you were associating with gang members.
That's a parole violation, so you can sit your ass down.
You'll cool your jets in a holding cell while we visit your P.
O.
Can a brother at least get a coffee? No, but I'll bring you a knish.
What happened? We got a double homicide on Warrior King turf.
Both gang members? Yeah.
Vics were shot, then had their throats cut.
Signature of the Ace Double Treys.
Rank? Not just soldiers.
Collateral damage? None so far.
In my office.
The mayor called, sir.
In a minute.
The new leader of the ADTs is willing to negotiate a truce.
Willing and able? Sir? Is he really the boss or just saying he is? Good point.
Multiple sources confirming.
What about the head of the Warrior Kings? Won't play ball.
Well, squeeze 'em.
Threaten to reopen every murder case he's close to.
That won't work, boss.
Well, make it work.
The leader of the Warrior Kings is already in prison.
He runs the gang from his cell, up in Otisville.
It's Mario Hunt.
(sharp exhale) Landed up in Otisville, where he took over his gang.
HELFOND: Where he feels free to stonewall us.
What's that mean? He put out word he'd take a sit-down with you and only you.
So what you're bringing me-- I'm invited to negotiate with the man who murdered my friend and his wife.
That's my option here.
He can't negotiate with a guy who killed an NYPD chief in cold blood.
You get that, right? What I get, it's my job here to give our boss the options, no matter how troubling those options are.
So you want to kill the messenger, go ahead.
GORMLEY: Nobody's saying anything about Stop.
Set it up.
Ronald Lloyd's been reporting to me since his release from Green Haven.
Keeping his nose clean? Well, I've never received any reports to the contrary.
We picked him up at a Warrior King bar yesterday.
I'll check it out.
If he screwed up, I'll violate him, and he can face a parole hearing.
Actually, we're not looking to put him away on a parole violation.
So what are we talking about? We're looking at him in connection with a double homicide.
Surprised to hear that.
Ronald seemed determined to turn his life around.
The leader of the AD street gang, and his driver, were murdered yesterday.
Ronald says he was here with you at the time of the murder.
Yeah, Ronald came in for his scheduled face-to-face meeting yesterday.
12:15 p.
m.
We met for approximately half an hour.
Gates was hit at 12:30 in Queens.
Which would make it kind of impossible for him to kill Gates at that time.
Looks like Lloyd's not your guy.
Hey, Chris.
How you been? Officer Reagan.
It's great to see you.
Good to see you.
This is my partner, Eddie Janko.
Hey.
Pleasure.
Hey, your partner tell you how he saved my business? No, it was no big deal.
(chuckles): Come on, man.
I got robbed three months after I opened.
No insurance.
If Jamie hadn't caught the guys, located my merchandise, I'd have had to close down.
Well, I'm glad that it worked out.
So how is business? Whole world's plugged into something.
Keeps me busy.
Yeah, that's why we're here.
We've had a rash of unauthorized transmissions over the PD radio.
Yeah, been a lot of chatter about that on the scanner sites.
Well, it's nothing to brag about.
Trust me, nobody's bragging.
They're pissed off.
See, 99% of these scanner buffs, they just listen to police calls.
You always get a few trolls.
You know some of these guys, Chris.
Anybody we should be looking at? Yeah, this kid-- he's been in here a few times.
Still in high school.
Calls himself "Shadow.
" Major attitude.
Dresses like a punk, but he's a serious wire-head.
Knows the technology cold.
Do you know where we could find him? Cybercafé on 25th.
It's big with the buffs.
Thanks, Chris.
We're gonna check it out.
Anytime.
(siren wailing) (sighs) All right, thanks.
Hey.
Ace Double Trey soldiers, every one of 'em.
Witnesses say the gunman approached on foot and opened fire.
DANNY: Let me guess, nobody got a look at his face.
You got it.
This thing is spinning out of control.
OFFICER: Detectives? We got a fifth victim, a civilian.
(girl crying) She's just a baby.
How's she doing? Took a bullet in her leg, lost some blood.
Could be worse.
(quivering) You know, I heard a rumor that the bravest girl in all of New York City is here tonight.
And I think I just found her.
You stay brave for me, okay? You, too, Mom.
All right? Get her out of here.
It's gonna be okay.
(girl sobbing) It's eight bodies in 48 hours.
And even if we figure out who hit Gates, it's not gonna stop the bodies from piling up.
(indistinct radio chatter) Excuse me.
Yo, why are you hassling me? Are you Shadow? What about it? Do yourself a favor, drop the attitude.
What's your real name? Tommy O'Rourke, but I don't go by that.
For a guy who listens to cop radio 24/7, you just don't seem excited to see us, Tommy.
Just 'cause I listen don't mean I like you guys.
Yeah? What'd we ever do to you? You're doing it right now.
Getting in my face when I didn't do nothing.
That's a really nice radio you got there.
I bet you could transmit over the NYPD frequency with that bad boy.
Yeah, but that's against the law.
A lady got shot yesterday because some joker was making false radio calls.
Well, if you don't want to get messed with, then protect your wack system.
Well, it's your lucky day, Tommy.
Oh, you gonna leave me the hell alone now? Better.
You're gonna get to talk to a real live NYPD detective.
Let's go, get up.
When we get in the car, we are gonna make a real live radio call all about you.
Yeah, all right, thank you.
Nothing on my end.
Lab come up with anything on the slugs they took out of Gates and his driver? Nothing that'll lead us to the shooter.
I cannot believe we had to cut that son of a bitch Lloyd loose.
He alibied out, Danny.
Alibied out? Come on.
This hit was totally his M.
O.
Drive-by shooting with a machine gun at close range.
"Warrior Kings" in blood next to the vic's body on the ground.
We just got to keep digging.
Detectives? - What? - This is Peter Chen.
Says he's got some information on the Gates homicide.
You don't say.
Thank you.
Okay, Mr.
Chen, what can you tell us? I was walking to work when it happened.
Saw the whole thing.
And you're just coming forward now? I heard a little girl got shot today.
These gangs have destroyed our neighborhood.
What can you tell us about the shooter? You get a look at him? Can you describe him? Six feet tall, skull earring, tattoo on his neck of a bloody knife.
Sound like someone you know? It can't be him, Danny.
Let's see.
One second.
Okay, Mr.
Chen, do any of these gentlemen look like the shooter to you? Number five.
He shot those guys.
Number five.
Are you sure? That's him.
All right, Mr.
Chen, why don't you have a seat over there.
We'll be with you in a moment.
Thanks.
How the hell could Ronald Lloyd be meeting with his P.
O.
and shooting Damon Gates at the same time? That is a damn good question.
(lock buzzes) Appreciate you coming all the way up here.
I understand you're running the Warrior Kings now.
I ain't saying that.
I know who I'm talking to.
You ordered the execution of the head of the ADTs.
He was taking things that wasn't his.
I don't care how it started.
I want it stopped.
I'm with that.
All this blood's bad for business.
Then why not come to the table? Happy to.
(chains rattle) Long as I come in person.
Look, man, I got about five more years up in here.
You get me out, this war goes away.
I don't have the power to release a Federal prisoner.
You the most powerful cop in the whole country.
You make a phone call, it's done.
You have the power to stop it.
So do you, Frank.
I mean, but the difference between me and you? You actually care how many folks get killed out there.
I don't.
(chains rattle) Get me the hell out of here.
You have a great day, Frank.
(lock buzzes) (gate slams) Put in the call to a friend of mine, a parole supervisor from Ramirez's office.
Why? Because something doesn't add up.
So Ramirez has to be dirty? That's not what I said.
You're checking her out with her boss.
Come on, this is called police work.
And, as it turns out, she's recently divorced and is having serious money problems.
So you're thinking Ramirez took cash from Lloyd to cover his ass in the Gates homicide? Wouldn't be the first time an officer of the law took the money.
She's been dealing with skels and gang members for years.
Suddenly, she sells out? I don't know, but that's what I'm trying to find out! I looked into Ramirez's record.
13 years, exemplary service.
Okay, so we're just supposed to assume that Mr.
Chen lied when he I.
D.
'd Lloyd? Maybe he made a mistake.
I'd take the word of a veteran P.
O.
over a scared civilian any day.
Look, I hate jamming up an officer of the law as much as you do, okay? But if that's where this thing leads us, that's where I'm going! Where are you going? (sighs) It was taken the day of.
Good to see you, Thomas.
You, too, sir.
I'm glad you transferred to the gang unit.
Kind of makes it a family business.
This thing with the Warrior Kings and Ace Double Treys, hell of a mess.
Yes, it is.
So you know what I'm up against.
(sighs) In exchange for negotiating a truce, Mario Hunt is demanding that we commute the rest of his sentence.
The guy who killed my parents, murdered one of your chiefs.
Thomas, a federal judge has already signed off on it.
You can't.
(sighs, swallows) (drawer opens, closes) His blood's not on it, I washed it off.
But my father's blood is still on this shield, Commissioner, in another, just-as-real sense.
I know that.
I like to keep that here with me.
Your dad always had my back, I like to think that in some way, he still does.
But I'm not so sure, in this instance, that your dad wouldn't think what I have to do is appeasement.
Appeasement's not an option if you care about the lives of the innocent.
You sound just like him.
That's just the way he said it.
Just remember you had his trust.
Whatever you have to do, my dad's got your back.
(sighs) Thank you, Thomas.
Hey, just talking to the detectives who interviewed Shadow.
Is her our guy? Nope.
TARU confirmed that the unauthorized transmissions didn't come from his radio.
Did he offer up any information? The detective said he wasn't all that cooperative.
Ooh, there's a shocker.
Right.
Hey.
Hey, Shadow.
Hey, listen.
Sorry we had to bring you in.
- Yeah, right.
- All these false alarms are gonna get someone killed.
You know why people mess with the cops? 'Cause the cops mess with everyone.
Hey, we got a job to do.
So do your job and leave me the hell alone.
Hey, and you don't care if innocent people get hurt? They get hurt every day and you guys don't do a damn thing about it.
I guess you're not paying too close attention to what's coming in over that radio.
My older brother got killed two years ago, just standing in the street.
Cops didn't do jack.
We're sorry to hear about your brother.
The thing is hard as we try, we can't catch everybody.
Can I go now? Yeah.
I'm not cool with this, Danny.
Staking out a parole officer's residence Okay, well, would you be cool if Lloyd walked away from a double murder? Of course not.
Okay, then we do what we got to do.
Look, let's talk about what we know, okay? My buddy confirmed that she was divorced.
Is that illegal now? No, but we also know she had money problems.
Stopped showing up at work, started behaving erratically, according to her friends.
Then suddenly, four months ago, she's on top of the world.
Right at the exact same time that Lloyd gets out of the joint.
Which proves nothing.
Well, does a guy picking Lloyd out of a photo array prove anything? Eyewitnesses have been wrong before, Danny.
And so have parole off officers.
Well, what do you know? There's Lloyd.
(camera snapping) I don't believe it.
Wow.
You were right about one thing.
He didn't have to blackmail her.
That guy knows how to come up with an alibi.
NICKY: It almost sounds like they played a bunch of video games and decided to go out and play it in real life.
Or maybe that's what it sounds like, but It's anything but a game.
I'm just saying, I mean, even the names.
Warrior Kings, Ace Double Treys? The names always change, but that element seems to stay the same.
Young, hopeless and vicious.
LINDA: If they catch the guy that killed Gates, does that mean the gang war's over? Well, it's not that easy, Linda.
What do you mean? What he means is gangs have their own system of justice.
And it doesn't include judges or juries.
Just executioners.
Are they just gonna keep killing each other? I'm not worried about them.
ERIN: How do you broker a deal between two sides when neither side respects your authority? No truce is gonna stop those animals from killing one another anyway.
LINDA: We had an ADT in the ER last night, three bullet holes in his chest, all of 14-years-old.
(groans) Well, leave a light on.
Ain't the first time and it won't be the last.
Why would you join a gang if there's such a high chance of you getting killed? For a lot of these guys, gangs take the place of their family.
Some family.
Pretty sad substitute.
When you don't have anything to compare it to.
ERIN: Exactly.
Tough guy on the corner says, "I'm gonna take care of you"? For that kid, he's been waiting to hear those words his whole life.
And the next thing you know, you're in Linda's hospital with three slugs in you.
And your O.
G.
Godfather has no more use for you, because you can no longer do his dirty work for him.
How do you negotiate with scum like that, like Mario Hunt? JACK: He was the one that killed the Kents.
How are you gonna deal with him? There's no truce that means anything without him signing off.
But how, Dad? You can't cut a deal with him.
I'm gonna try.
But the Kents were your friends.
You bet.
(sighs) It's complicated, Sean.
Not to me.
Not for me, either.
Mario Hunt should rot in the prison.
You can't negotiate with gangbangers.
HENRY: Just like terrorists.
Not going anywhere.
I wish it were that easy.
I say let 'em work it out themselves.
And if they don't? People die.
Innocent people.
Exactly.
Innocent people.
Yeah, but if you sit down with these guys, then it's like we're giving in and then you're just asking for more trouble.
Exactly.
Tell that to the mother whose little girl got shot.
Tell her we're sorry, but it's cast in stone who we will and will not try to reach.
I'm just saying I know what you're saying.
(sighs) See you next week, and I don't want to hear you've been showing up late for work again.
Ah, you're really hands-on with these guys, huh? Well, you have to be or else they just screw up again.
If they do, you've got a responsibility to make sure they pay for it, right? That's the job.
What about this? This part of your job, too? I don't know what to say.
Well, the state inspector general has plenty to say.
I never meant for it to happen.
I didn't see Lloyd twisting your arm to make it happen last night.
I was in a bad place when I met Ronald, but I know it's not an excuse.
Damn right it's not.
I made a big mistake.
No, you made two mistakes.
First one was betraying your oath and sleeping with Lloyd in the first place.
The second one was lying to us, telling us Lloyd was here when he was out committing a double homicide.
Also known as hindering prosecution in the first degree.
You have something to say? Ronald called me from your precinct, told me.
He promised he didn't kill Gates.
We got an eyewitness says he did.
I swear I never would've covered for him if I thought he did those murders.
You never should've covered for him at all.
What happens now? Your career as a P.
O.
is finished but you could possibly help yourself on the legal side.
How? We got to get Lloyd to confess to killing Gates and his driver.
How are you gonna get him to do that? We won't.
You will.
You wanted to see us, Sarge? You got a visitor.
Hey, what you doing here, Shadow? Look, I was pissed you dragged me down here when I didn't do anything, but I know why you did it.
It was nothing personal.
Yeah, I guess I got a temper.
Yeah, me, too.
Look, I don't always agree with what you guys do, but it takes guts, and I'd never make a false call ever.
That's good to hear.
But there are other guys out there who do, and they make the rest of us look bad.
Do you have something you want to tell us? I overheard two guys talking about the robbery where the lady got shot.
Where was this? At the cyber cafe where you guys found me.
They've hung out there a few times.
What did they say? Talked about how it was an easy job, about the people in the bank, like they were there.
Who are these guys? One of them's a hard-core radio head named Richie, and the other guy's kind of scary.
I definitely wouldn't mess with him.
Did you mention these guys to the detective that questioned you? No, he treated me like a dumb kid, so that's what I acted like.
Let's go find these guys.
They're coming out.
Copy that.
JANKO: Excuse me, gentlemen.
Do me a favor, take your hands out of your pockets.
That's a nice radio.
Afternoon, officers.
We're investigating a bank robbery a few blocks from here.
You guys know anything about that? Nah.
Really? 'Cause you two, you fit the description of the perps.
Listen to police calls on that radio? (officers shouting) Hey.
(tires screech) (grunting) Gun! I got a gun! (grunts) Got him! JAMIE: Hands behind your back.
Give me your right hand.
In the car.
I'm willing to bet that this gun matches the bullet that they pulled out of the victim in the bank.
I'm betting this radio is the unauthorized transmission that had us chasing our tails.
Pretty nice takedown.
Well, we couldn't have done it without you, Shadow.
Uh, damn straight.
Ah.
If you're so interested in the NYPD, you ever think about joining up? No, I don't think I could rock the uniform.
We were thinking about the Intelligence Division.
They hire civilian analysts.
JANKO: You know they got internships.
If you're interested, we'll put in a good word.
I'll think about it.
In the meantime, don't mess up.
I'll be listening.
Hey, what are you doing here, baby? I needed to see you.
Come in.
She's in.
Lloyd is smart.
I hope she can pull this off.
It's kind of risky you being here.
I'm glad to see you.
We need to talk.
Those detectives came to my office again.
They have a witness who claims he saw you kill Gates.
Doesn't matter.
Just stick to the story and we're cool.
RAMIREZ: There's surveillance video of everyone who comes in and out of Corrections, Ronald.
It's just a matter of time till they ask to see the tape for the day Gates was killed, and see you're not on it.
So, just pull the tapes, baby.
I already put my career on the line for you once.
If I'm gonna do it again you need to tell me the truth.
Did you kill Gates? Tell me the truth, Ronald.
It's the only way I can help you.
Look, I was trying to protect you, all right? If you knew I killed those boys, you'd have to do something about it.
Here we go.
Police! Bitch, you sold me out! (shouts) Drop it! I'll blow her brains out right here, right now! You don't want to do that.
Cover me.
Ronald, no! No! I'm walking out of here, all right? You're leaving here in cuffs or a body bag, you hear me? Now put the gun down! (whimpering) She dies, it's on you.
(cries) Drop the gun! Ronald, listen to me.
Hey! Look at me.
You're a smart guy.
Okay? Why don't you be smart now.
Put that thing down so nobody gets hurt.
Drop it! (shouts) Good job, Christine.
Danny! Yeah? 5-4 detectives, 10-13.
We have an officer shot at this location.
DANNY: Nah, it can't be.
Hey, Ramirez, you hang in there, okay? Guess I was wrong about him.
DANNY: Ramirez? Ramirez! Wasn't easy getting the feds to sign off on your release.
They stuck my ass in Vermont.
I don't ski and I don't make candles.
I hit the streets.
You get your truce.
Everybody wins.
Well almost everybody.
Okay, don't do that.
Don't go comparing what you've lost to to what I've lost.
My old man wasn't no chief of police.
I never knew my old man.
Matter of fact, I had to fight for everything I ever got.
You didn't fight for it.
You stole for it.
You lied for it.
You murdered for it.
Don't flatter yourself.
Whatever, man.
Just get me the hell up out of here.
(sighs) Well that's not gonna happen.
No? No.
That's how you want to play it? Okay, then when the bodies keep on dropping, that's on you.
There's a new deal.
I picked up the phone and got you transferred to USP Atlanta.
You can't do that.
No, I can't, but the feds can.
I understand the Ace Double Treys run things in Atlanta.
Cops ain't supposed to have people murdered, Frank.
In a perfect world, Mario.
But this ain't a perfect world.
Here's the deal.
The war stops now.
You can finish your sentence here, in your house.
If not, it's Atlanta, in their house.
The offer's good for the next ten seconds.
Just when things were going so well for you.
