Previously on Tommy...
Santos is giving the Day Glow Spa cases over to the D.A.,
see which ones stick.
Your son-in-law was in Day Glow?
Your name is now on a list of people
facing possible prosecution for soliciting a prostitute.
It isn't your business, Tommy.
I'm Kate's mother. I think it is.
Can't tell you the number of times
Kate's told me you being a cop has ruined her life.
TOMMY: Looks like I'm staying
at the Airport Westin tonight.
Kiley Mills, brilliant sports agent.
This is my former soulmate Abigail Thomas.
KILEY: I had a great time.
I think we should be friends.
There is no chemistry.
You sure about that?
(GUNFIRE)
MAN: Red Team has infiltrated eastern corridor.
Proceed accordingly.
CRYSTAL: Yes. And I'll take a cache of ammo, thank you.
Now, who else is hiding in here?
Let's go.
OFFICER 2: All right. Let's go.
MAN: Ammo at 30%.
Movement detected along perimeter.
Squad up.
Question from Rocco&4:
What's my fastest time completing a mission?
Woodland Sector. Five minutes and 18 seconds.
- Cover. - Go, go!
- Police! - Police!
- LAPD! - LAPD!
Cue left.
Police!
Put your weapon down!
CRYSTAL: (LAUGHS) And he's down.
Too bad, Booloot687.
Better luck next time.
Ooh, clean shot. Nice.
Turn around. Hands up.
Who are you?
Where's my dad?
(BUZZING)
(INHALES SHARPLY, MOANS)
(CLEARS THROAT) Cooper. What's up?
Got an officer-involved shooting, one fatality.
Where?
West Adams. Diaz has the address.
Okay. On my way.
Tell Diaz to meet me downstairs.
Will do.
Yeah. Okay.
What's up?
I got to go.
Mm. It's been a while
since I've heard that at 3:00 in the morning.
- (SIGHS) - Wait. Y-You're serious?
Yeah.
Is it work?
- Yeah, what else would it be? - (CHUCKLES)
Cut me some slack. It's my first night with the chief.
(LAUGHS) Yeah. No, yes, it's work.
There's, uh, been a shooting.
I got to, I got to go. You sleep.
Mm, I was planning on it. (CHUCKLES)
Hey, are you okay about last night?
Yeah. Why?
You kept saying,
"I don't usually do this."
Well, I mean, I haven't, in a while.
Not a long while, but I guess... well...
Just so you know, I'm glad you called.
I'm always up for a late dinner.
I know it kind of came out of the blue.
It came when it needed to.
Are you okay with last night?
Yeah.
'Cause you kept saying,
"Oh, I do this all the time."
(LAUGHS)
Well...
I got to go.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
What happened?
COOPER: It's a mess.
WASHINGTON: Commander Washington, ma'am.
911 dispatch got a phone call from a young man
who said that his father had shot his mother at this address.
The young man said he was hiding in a closet
with two younger siblings.
Any previous domestic violence calls from this address?
We didn't have time to check.
We arrived here, we heard someone yelling
from inside the house, we entered.
An adult male emerged from one of the rooms,
holding what appeared to be a weapon.
Officer Gregory Wayne identified himself
and ordered the individual to drop the weapon.
When the individual didn't comply,
Officer Wayne fired twice, killing him.
Homeowner?
Cyrus Callas. 53 years old.
All right. What about the weapon in his hand?
A baseball bat.
Any evidence he killed his wife?
None. Never happened.
The only child in the house was Callas's 15-year-old daughter.
She was playing video games,
and that was the yelling that we heard.
No son, no sibling, nobody hiding in the closet.
- The whole thing was a prank. - And we fell for it.
- Mm-hmm. - Where's the mother?
Well, apparently, she died a few years ago.
Who's with the daughter?
Social services. The name's Crystal.
There's an older sister at Berkeley.
She's been notified.
TOMMY: The officer?
Clean record.
Four years with the unit.
The Force Investigation Division
has the case, so nobody else
talks to Wayne until they give us the preliminary report.
What about the caller? The freak who started this whole thing?
We don't have anything on him yet.
Chief, you need to talk to the press.
I'll be right back.
I just spent the last ten minutes being yelled at
by Simmons in the Office of Legal Counsel.
He made me promise I'd tell you:
highlight the department's intention for transparency,
make no apology, no expression of regret.
Okay. You said it.
BLAKE: Hello everyone. Chief Thomas
will now make a statement. Chief?
We've begun an investigation.
The results will be released as soon as they're available.
We will also release the names of everyone involved.
In the meantime, I would like to say...
...I am very sorry about what happened tonight.
(RISING CHATTER)
Lives have been devastated. We can all see that.
And we are going to do everything in our power
to find the person responsible.
Questions?
- You have any leads? - Chief...
(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
YOUNG MAN (OVER PHONE): My mom, he killed her.
He has a gun. Please help us. My dad has a gun.
911 DISPATCHER: Help is on the way.
Is anyone else in the house besides you and your parents?
YOUNG MAN: My brother and sister. We're hiding.
I pulled us into a closet. Help us, please.
That's where the call ends. It's called "swatting."
It's a practical joke gamers pull on each other.
I know what it's called.
BLAKE: We're releasing the call later today.
And Officer Wayne's name as the shooter. Transparency.
SIMMONS: What I don't get, Chief, is why you told the press
you were sorry for what happened
when that is exactly what you were asked not to do.
- About. - What?
I said I was sorry about what happened.
- Not for. - Oh, good.
So when the Callas family sues, you can argue prepositions
right before the judge awards them ten million dollars
because you claimed responsibility
on behalf of the LAPD.
That's not what I did.
The Office of Legal Counsel is here to help
avoid situations like this.
But we can only do that if you take our counsel.
An innocent man was killed in his home by one of our officers.
His daughter is now an orphan.
You're not sorry about that, Simmons?
Not the point. You don't say it.
Well, what am I supposed to say?
When there is pain right in front of you,
you got to call it what it is.
Otherwise, people will never believe a word I say.
All I know is, you just added two or three zeroes
to the settlement we pay this family.
Lot of things the department could spend that money on
more useful than an apology.
See you, Blake.
I understand why you said it.
But he's right.
It'll cost us.
WOMAN (OVER P.A. SYSTEM): Attention, everyone.
The school carnival will be open in 15 minutes.
(PHONE BUZZING)
(OVER PHONE): Hey. It's Kate. I can't talk right now.
Leave a message.
Hi, it's me. Uh...
We haven't spoken since I moved into the hotel.
So if you can... c... if you want to,
um, give me a call.
Okay. Bye.
Mrs. Gates, get me Cooper.
So, what about the kid who placed the 911 call,
the prankster?
Swatter.
Uh, he swats, so he's a-a swatter.
I-I didn't make it up.
Fine. What do you got?
That 911 call appeared to come
from the daughter's cell phone,
but that just means he spoofed her number.
- Spoofed? - Used her number
to mask the true origin of the call.
The telephone company is tracing logs
to try and pinpoint where the call was made.
Why do you think he targeted her?
The daughter, Crystal, is a rising star on StreamConekt.
Girl gamers get harassed a lot. It just seems likely.
Again, StreamConekt?
It's an online video platform where gamers play live,
people log on to watch them play.
My son-in-law's a tech guy. I picked up a couple things.
Where's Crystal now?
Well, she's with social services until the older sister arrives.
I want this swatter.
I want you to talk to the daughter.
I think she can help us ID him.
She's a minor, so strictly speaking,
we should wait until the sister's here.
Sister shows up with a lawyer,
you may never be able to talk to her. You got to go now.
COOPER: Hello, Crystal.
We're with the LAPD.
We're trying to track down the person who placed
the false 911 call.
Is there any chance that somebody
was targeting you or your dad?
Why would anyone swat my dad?
He's an MRI technician.
Whoever did this was after me.
My dad just got caught in the middle.
I, uh, I watched one of your streams.
Battle Dynasty, the Lark Terrain mission.
You were whipping the butt of some guy
named Keyhole399.
- What a loser. - Yeah.
You game?
Sure. Hardcore for a while, but then, I, uh, gave it up.
- Why? - The better I got,
the worse the comments did.
I know, right?
Anyone been extra harsh recently?
Take your pick.
375 users I had to block from my stream.
That's in the last month.
You mind if we take a picture of that?
Go ahead.
What are you doing?
Alyssa!
ALYSSA: It's okay. It will be okay.
- You're cops? - Yes. We're...
I can't believe you're here.
We have nothing to say to you.
All right, uh... if you change your mind...
ALYSSA: Just go, all right?
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - WASHINGTON: Excuse me, Chief?
There's something we need to discuss.
Officer Wayne, just so you understand,
I am the final judge of your disciplinary process,
so we cannot, uh, discuss the events of the shooting.
I know.
So what's this about?
I'm resigning.
Why? Y-You don't know how this is gonna turn out.
You, you could be cleared and restored to duty.
I don't care.
I want out.
Shootings are hard.
There's nothing normal about taking a life.
But you are the same person now that you were
before this happened.
Just give yourself some time.
Do the counseling.
It's, it's not that.
I, I mean, that's not all it is.
Well, what do you mean?
I got doxxed.
- Uh... What? - Doxxed.
Hacked.
Somebody posted all my personal data.
Address, social security, e-mail...
My wife has been getting all of these abusive messages...
Plus some... uh, medical information.
What information?
I'm HIV positive.
I was trying to keep it quiet.
My wife knew, some family.
But not the rest of my unit.
Not my friends. And now...
The shooting...
I feel so horrible and...
and now this.
I don't...
I-I just, I-I just can't...
Officer? Look at me. Take a breath.
Don't do anything today.
Just go home.
I'll have a member of my detail drive you, okay?
Okay.
We put his name out there.
Transparency, for this?
(SIGHS)
MAN: Welcome to the Davenport School
Spring Fling.
Be sure to visit the "dump the teacher" booth.
We're out of popcorn bags.
I will go get some more from my car.
Uh, you hold down the fort,
and I shall return with our much-needed bounty.
WOMAN: Be sure to sample some homemade pies
and stop by the goldfish game.
OFFICER: You're a student here, but you don't have your ID?
I told you, it's in my locker.
OFFICER 2: Why were you sneaking around here?
I'm not. This is how I get to my locker.
He has all the answers, doesn't he? I don't believe you.
It's locker number 120, check it for yourself.
OFFICER: Keep running your mouth, we'll take you in for trespassing.
I can give you the combination.
OFFICER: That's it. - Excuse me.
- Officers, excuse me. - LAPD, ma'am, step back.
I know this student. I work at this school.
Let me see your ID.
- I left my purse in my office. - DAVIS: Ms. Jones, I-I, I know her.
I said, keep your face against that wall.
- Hey, stop it! - Hey, I said, stay back!
What are you even charging me with?
My mother is the chief of police.
So whatever you do to Davis or me, my mother is...
(OFFICER LAUGHING)
Michelle Obama is the police chief of L.A.?
Wow. Who knew I had royalty in the back seat of my car.
She's my mother.
Nice try.
She's white. And gay.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Hey! Boss wants to see us.
I have a press briefing in 15 minutes
that was supposed to be about the shooting,
but is now also about doxxing
and department HIV policy.
I need to prepare.
I don't think she's asking.
Okay.
How's the arm?
Better. It doesn't hurt as much.
But I still say if you're thinking
of getting shot, uh, don't.
I'll keep that in mind.
- You drink bourbon, right? - Why?
I want to buy a bottle for a friend,
and I know nothing.
A friend... The mayor who must not be named?
He's not Voldemort. And yes.
We got something.
We've been working with the phone company on the SWAT call.
It was spoofed by somebody using public Wi-Fi in Echo Park.
We've also traced the doxxing posts to the same location.
So it is the same guy.
But wh-why would he go after Wayne? What's the point?
For the lulz.
- The what? - Lulz.
It's the pleasure you get from pulling a practical joke online.
Swatting and doxxing,
they're funny to people who do it.
"Some officers bleed blue.
Officer Wayne bleeds HIV." Posting that is funny?
Uh, the fact that we're upset is.
It's like trolling. To get a reaction.
It's a game to him. We're his opponents.
If we suffer, he's winning.
I'm gonna do the briefing.
Are you sure about that?
I want people to hear from me.
This little prick wants an opponent,
he's got one.
If an officer is physically and mentally fit,
his or her HIV status
has no bearing on their ability to serve.
Officer Wayne is fully qualified to return to service
pending the results of the shooting investigation.
Next.
Are the two events linked?
Last night's hoax and today's doxxing?
I can't comment on an ongoing investigation. You.
Chief? What are your personal thoughts
about the doxxing?
It's disgusting.
Only cowards target people like that.
It is despicable. Next.
What do you got?
We're working with the list from Crystal's phone.
The people she blocked.
The problem is, we have their usernames,
but not their real ones.
There's a way to link usernames with real names...
But we can't get anywhere unless StreamConekt
gives us access to the users' real names and locations,
and they stonewalled us.
Who runs SteamConekt?
- Guy named Ethan Glem. - TOMMY: Right.
Let's go talk to Mr. Glem. Keep working.
You ready?
- Yeah. - (PHONE BUZZING)
Oh. Let me take this call?
Hi.
Hey.
Checking in, 'cause it felt weird not to.
Yeah, no, no, I'm, I'm, uh, glad you did.
Saw on the news about the shooting.
It sounded terrible.
Yeah, it's a hard one. I feel bad for everybody.
Well, how are you holding up?
Anything you need?
Well, that's actually a great question,
that I do not have the answer to.
Actually, I need information
from the president of a company who doesn't want to give it up.
Any advice?
Why are you asking me? You're the one with the gun.
(CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES) We are discouraged from using our weapon
to threaten interview subjects, but thanks for the thought.
Can I, uh, give you a call later?
Sure.
Okay. Bye.
Mrs. Gates, can you gather any news reports
about how StreamConekt is doing, um, losses, problems,
- and then e-mail them to me? - Yes, ma'am.
Why should my company help the LAPD?
Well, your company helps gamers take advantage of the LAPD,
so why not level the field?
We don't encourage or condone swatting.
They why does footage of SWAT entering the Callas home
have two million views on your site?
Uh, we try to take down those clips as soon as they're posted.
We have a responsibility to protect our users' privacy.
That's all there is to it.
Okay, it looks like a gaming tournament
that you hosted last month was shut down because of a brawl,
and it looks like that's not the first time it's happened.
Gamers can be immature idiots sometimes.
Big news. Your point?
Optics. The way things look.
I also see that your senior director of game design
was charged with domestic violence recently.
Starting to look like your company has a violence problem.
That's ridiculous.
And the single most popular video
on your service is trending because it caused a homicide.
Do you think people don't notice that?
See a pattern?
COOPER: The longer our investigation goes,
the longer you have a problem.
TOMMY: Because every single day, we're gonna make sure
your company is in the news for refusing to help.
You're not a billion dollar company, Mr. Glem,
where you're pushing out profits
and thumbing your nose at the Justice Department.
You're just another cash-poor startup,
hungry for investors.
You're trying to blackmail me.
No, I can't do that. I'm the chief of police.
But you give us the names,
you will be the company that helped us catch a killer.
People love those.
Listen up.
You can make one call with your phone. Want to?
Uh, I was brought in with a boy named Davis Jacobs.
Do you know where he's being held?
No. You want to make a call or not?
One call, that's it.
(LINE RINGING)
You've reached Henry Jones. Please leave a message.
(QUIETLY): Come on, Henry. You won't even answer the phone?
Is there anyone else you could reach out to?
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey, Kate. What's up?
We went through the names that StreamConekt provided,
and we found one.
Gamers can establish subscription hubs
where superfans can donate money for exclusive content.
Like VIP access.
Superfans can also donate and propose challenges.
Last week, Crystal exchanged messages
with a guy named Arthur Stray.
It got creepy fast, and she blocked him.
- Creepy how? - He offered her $2,000
to complete an "Amsterdam" mission
dressed up as Lara Croft.
You wrestle with vampires in brothels
and do drugs with werewolves.
- That's a video game? - Yeah.
Stray's username profile says he's 15.
What teenager has two grand to spend?
He's in L.A.?
- Lives ten minutes from Echo Park. - (PHONE BUZZING)
Uh, excuse me.
I need your help.
We talking bourbon?
(STAMMERS) What-What's the difference if it's made
in a cask or a barrel?
Ah, well, barrels are casks, but not all casks are barrels.
SWAT OFFICER: Police!
- (PEOPLE SCREAMING) - Get down now!
Police! Get down now!
What's happening?
- Hands in the air now! - (STAMMERS)
- Blake, are you okay? - We've got a situation.
Several emergency calls came in
basically at the same time from all over.
Active shooter, hostage taken, armed robbery in progress,
all at once. There.
BLAKE: Ken?
Blake, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
SWAT just swept the aisles
looking for something that isn't here.
Blake says SWAT just stormed a store she's at
responding to an emergency call, but nothing was going on.
There's nothing going on at any of the locations.
We've been swatted.
Yeah, got it. Thanks.
- Hey. What's up? - Diaz.
Detail for the chief. You're holding Kate Jones here?
- What about it? - Who's the arresting officer?
Me. Who's asking?
You brought in Kate Jones?
You arrested Kate Jones?
Dude, you got a problem?
No, dude. I'm not the one with the problem.
OFFICER: Jones, let's go.
Diaz. Thank you.
- Let's get you out of here. - Uh, we want to say
this was a misunderstanding.
Just tell me where Davis Jacobs is.
Is he in the building?
I'm not leaving until you tell me.
He's at Central Juvenile Hall.
All told, there were ten false alarms,
all within a quarter-mile of police headquarters.
Somebody's trying to get our attention.
Any injuries?
Some minor. No fatalities.
It's our lucky day.
We got to find a way to vet these 911 calls.
WASHINGTON: Ma'am, when someone reports an active shooter,
we can't stop to run a background check.
The best outcomes are when we respond immediately.
We're getting played like a yo-yo here.
- It's got to stop. - BLAKE: This was just posted online:
"Hey Lady Chief, this coward sure made SWAT scramble!"
We don't answer.
He wants a response, we're not gonna give it to him.
I'll-I'll draft a statement from the department
saying we're investigating and that's it.
- Okay? - Okay.
Boss, with respect, is there gonna be another apology?
Some of the guys felt like you were apologizing for them.
Well... (SIGHS) ...please tell them
that that was not my intent in any way, and no,
there is nothing to apologize for.
This guy may go after other people.
Let's put a car outside Wayne's,
and, uh, protection for Crystal, too.
I'll offer, but I'm not sure the Callas family will accept it.
I hear they're talking to Delvin and Young.
- Attorneys? - Big firm,
won some major judgments against the department.
- They're coming for us. - (SCOFFS)
Do you think it was a mistake to apologize?
I-I understand wanting to show compassion,
but the ugly truth is
the politics of your job doesn't always for allow it.
A-And one more thing,
I heard from a DDA on that Day Glow Spa case.
They've reviewed the case files,
they're not gonna prosecute anybody.
They don't think there's enough evidence, so...
- (SIGHS) - ...son-in-law is off the hook.
That's a relief, right?
Yes. Thank you.
DIAZ: Luna good?
Yeah, she's at a sleepover with her Scout troop.
Kate, I... I'm really sorry for what happened to you today.
You got me out of this nightmare.
You don't have anything to apologize for.
I'm LAPD. I wear the uniform.
I don't think I've ever seen you in uniform.
(BOTH CHUCKLING) You got jokes.
I know y-you tried to tell them who you are.
Thank you.
I can't tell you the number of times
an officer thought I was a suspect,
- asking me for ID. - (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Hey, Mrs. Jones.
Oh, my God, Davis, what happened?
They... they-they put me in a cell with this crazy dude.
Said I stole something from him.
(SIGHS)
Can I call my parents?
Of course, sweetheart.
COOPER: So...
Arthur Stray, Crystal Callas superfan.
I don't understand why I'm here.
I mean, you can't possibly think
I had anything to do with these swattings.
Oh, I don't know, Mr. Stray, I can think of a lot of things.
Like, for example, I could think it a little strange
that a 37-year-old securities trader
posed as a teenage boy on StreamConekt
and asked a 15-year-old Crystal
to "go Amsterdam."
I didn't "pose." I assumed an alternate digital identity.
There's nothing unusual about that.
I thought she deserved a larger following.
I was suggesting ways for her to expand her audience.
By wearing a halter top and short shorts?
I think of it as branding.
Those "suggestions" got you blocked,
cut off. That tick you off?
Tick me off? Look, some guy picked a fight with me
while I was in the middle of messaging her.
He said I was wasting my money on an e-girl,
so I told him to screw a nut. Then my cell phone bricked.
- Bricked? - The operating system crashed.
The guy he was arguing with hacked it.
What was this guy's username?
ReadyMa05. Real dick.
- ReadyMa05? - Screen name.
He was a big fan of Crystal's, then he got ugly.
Any way to connect him to the swatting?
We found video of him playing.
He wears a mask, but we got a recording of his voice.
Voice analysis says he placed the 911 call.
So pick him up.
Didn't StreamConekt give us the usernames and addresses?
We tried. He used a fake name, ghost IP.
He's well-hidden, but Ken had an idea.
Ken?
Well, ReadyMa05 responded when this guy Arthur Stray
made a bid on Crystal's gaming.
If we planted a bid while Crystal was playing,
we might draw him out.
If I know he's online, I can get his IP and track his location.
But doesn't this require that the Callas family work with us?
Yes, it does.
I know there's nothing I can say that will ease your pain,
so I won't try,
but we were both victimized by the same person.
There is a chance, with Crystal's help,
- that we could catch him. - No.
- Alyssa... - No.
This ReadyMa05, he didn't break into our house,
he didn't shoot our dad, your cops did that.
- I know. - We can't even stay
in the house. There are bullet holes in the wall.
I know, but we would not have been there
if that person didn't lie to us.
Then you should get better at figuring out
when people are lying.
- Alyssa, I want to help. - Honey, they don't deserve it.
If I hadn't been playing, maybe none of this would've happ...
I know it's not my fault, but that's not how it feels.
If I can do something to fix this,
then it would help me.
What do you want her to do?
- How you doing? - Nervous.
Just play like you normally do.
Our tech team will take care of the rest.
Copy. Okay, let's start.
♪
And Crystal is live. That's her, BlueSkies.
Greeted by 7,000 viewers and counting.
I still don't understand why people would watch
other people play video games.
Because it's fun?
Like watching a really bloody, violent chess match.
I just joined the chat section.
Which one are you?
"LuckyGrip579"?
Name of a math rock band I started in high school.
Crystal's really good.
She reminds me why I used to love playing.
Not anymore?
Not anymore. It's been a while.
Yeah, I won a tournament.
I was 16, it was epic.
Then the comments started coming in.
"The match was fixed."
"They went easy 'cause she's a girl."
Lot of stuff about slitting my throat.
Then this guy started calling the house.
He told my mom he was gonna break in
and kill us in our beds.
I didn't want my mom scared like that,
so I quit,
which is what they wanted all along, I guess.
ReadyMa05 just joined the chat.
They're gonna start tracing his IP.
We need to keep him on as long as possible.
You set to do the drop?
ASHLEY: Yup.
We donate $5,000 to Crystal's profile,
and if history repeats itself, ReadyMa05 should start flaming.
ASHLEY: And there's the first flame.
TOMMY: What, insult?
ASHLEY: Uh-huh.
"WTH, who donates to Daddy's little killer?
This trash got herself swatted!"
You want to answer? Throw some shade?
Tell him, "You wish you had cash like this."
ReadyMa: "I make your salary in a day."
"You live on the corner of Broke and Bumming."
ReadyMa: "You're cruising for a SWAT, D-Bag."
"You couldn't swat an ass at a strip club."
Officer Kim.
Coordinates are being rendered.
We got his address.
(SIGHS) Yes.
So...
looks like his name is Steven Mist.
We got a location. I sent a team out,
they're picking him up right now.
(CHUCKLES) Up top. All right.
ALYSSA: Great.
You got your guy. We're still suing.
You'll hear from our attorney.
Let's go, Crys.
OFFICER (QUIETLY): Move. Move, move.
Ready?
Go, go, go.
Police! Hands up!
Hands up right now!
Hi. I am Lady Chief Thomas.
A bunch of detectives are gonna come in here
and talk to you in a few minutes.
But before that, I wanted you to see these.
This is Cyrus Callas,
the man that you had killed for no reason.
These are his daughters.
(QUIETLY): Those snotbags came at me.
What's that, Steven? I can't hear you.
People think that they can come at me, like I'm a joke.
People? People like who? Like-like Crystal?
I spent months
winning missions so I could build an elite fighter,
and that e-slut killed him in 90 seconds.
That witch started it.
That diseased SWAT guy's so worthless,
he pulled the trigger.
But I'm the coward?
I'm jacked in the head?
I didn't do nothing but try to take my elite fighter
out on missions.
Look at me, Steven.
Look at me!
You're going to prison...
for the real people, the real lives that you ruined.
The man that you had killed.
Let me put this in terms you'll understand.
Between Crystal and me, two times now,
you got beat by a girl.
(PHONE BUZZING)
Hey, honey, thank you for calling.
Wh-what happened?
I want those officers in front of me.
They are going to answer for this.
You can't get involved.
The union will be all over you.
You think I give a flying...
When I got started, I got desk duty every year
because I filed discrimination complaints with the union.
And those were just the incidents
I felt I had to report.
You can't ignore them.
I'm not staying out of this.
Call Simmons.
You want legal counsel with you.
Why?
To keep you from killing somebody.
(EXHALES)
As president of the union, I am appalled
at what's being done to these officers.
Nothing's been done, Lou.
No? Hauling 'em in here
for this completely unjustified interrogation?
Not an interrogation. A conversation.
I just want to understand what happened.
Why was Davis Jacobs arrested?
Ma'am, we observed him trying to break into the school.
- His own school? - He couldn't verify that.
Kids lie to us all the time.
You couldn't go inside and ask somebody?
Don't answer that.
Why was Kate Jones arrested?
They are not gonna answer any questions about Kate Jones.
Why not?
Because of your obvious bias.
The only thing these officers did wrong was
they didn't recognize your daughter.
She interfered with the officers in the pursuit of their duties.
That's an arrest.
Were they supposed to make sure that she wasn't
a member of your family before they arrested her?
We are here because a 15-year-old honor student
was put in cuffs outside his own school.
- He was roughed up. - That's out of line.
He was put in a cell with a 17-year-old
charged with attempted murder who sent him to the ER.
We're supposed to do
compatibility checks with cellmates now?
All right. What I want to know is this.
Would any of this have taken place
if Jacobs was white?
It's taken almost 30 years for the LAPD
to get rid of this kind of behavior.
Now we have the union president
patting these boys on the back.
That's it, we're going.
You know, you're not here for us officers.
You're out for yourself.
No, I-I support any officer who does this job
the way it's supposed to be done.
The way you supported those SWAT guys last night
with your little apology at the Callas crime scene?
Yeah, we all heard that.
My eyes are on these guys.
They get demoted or transferred
as some sort of backdoor retribution,
we're filing suit.
Well, that went great.
I, uh, heard from the firm representing the Callas family.
They mentioned that apology, too.
It's possible you only added one zero to the settlement.
I'm contacting the Jacobs family.
(SIGHS)
Oh, Washington.
Yes, ma'am.
Have you heard from Wayne?
I spoke to him a while ago. He's a little better.
- You mind a suggestion? - I'm listening.
Tonight or tomorrow, pay him a visit.
Maybe bring some of the squad,
just to let him know he still has his people.
- Will do. - Okay, thanks.
♪
Is Henry home?
I honestly don't know.
I used my one call on him,
and, well, you saw who ended up getting me and Davis released.
Yeah, just, I don't want to cause any problems.
Oh, by the way, the DA is not going to prosecute anyone.
Insufficient evidence.
So, uh, Henry will not get arrested.
All this time worrying about him,
and I'm the one who ends up spending a day in jail.
Kate, why didn't you call me?
(CHUCKLES)
"If I interfere, it will make things much, much worse
for all of us."
That's what you said when I asked you to help Henry.
This is not the same thing.
- Why not? - Because you are my daughter.
I tried to tell them that.
That officer didn't believe me. He laughed in my face.
Honey, from the day you were born,
people have questioned my parentage of you.
I... What can you do? You just keep telling them
until they get it, I guess.
No, that-that doesn't work.
See, you get, you get the chance
to keep talking until someone listens,
and me and Davis don't have that luxury.
Those officers refused to believe us because we're black.
And nothing we said could have changed that.
You know how sorry I am about all this happening, right?
What about Davis and his parents?
I'm gonna apologize to them, too.
You okay?
Yeah.
Okay. I'm gonna get going.
You know, i-it's stupid, you staying at that hotel.
Why don't you... come home?
Well, what about Henry?
(CHUCKLES) At this point,
I don't really care what he thinks.
Will you move back?
Please?
Okay.
I will see you tomorrow.
Good.
Thank you.
We don't have to hang here.
You know, I have a home. A nice one.
Yes, but do you have a live jazz trio
that performs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday?
(BOTH LAUGH)
You got me there.
Thank you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
You dominated the news alerts on my phone today.
Yeah.
Today was busy.
Mm.
So, today, long day, you call.
Yesterday, long day, you call.
And you want to know what's going on.
Well, I think it's because you like my company.
Hmm, could be that.
Maybe I'm just lonely.
Well, who isn't?
I like your company, that's why I called.
I like sharing a bottle of wine with you.
I haven't made any mistakes with you yet.
Uh, right?
Yeah.
I've only been in L.A. for two months.
These past two nights have been
the least complicated part of my life here so far.
Well,
I gotta admit, I have never shared
a fine hotel room with someone whose life is
so spectacularly busy.
- Yes. Thank you. - (LAUGHS)
I'm usually the one that's getting the 3:00 a.m. call,
catching the red-eye to JFK.
Oh, man, JFK.
- (WHISPERS): JFK. - (LAUGHS)
I miss New York.
Well, I'll give it a kiss for you next time I'm there.
Was that for me or New York?
Oh, both.
What about the Bronx? Staten Island?
Brooklyn...
(PHONE BUZZING)
God, that's me.
Uh, I can step out in the hall if you need a minute.
No.
No, you know what?
Stay.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES)
