No, I just never had a partner when I was in narcotics,
so I don't know how it works.
We both drive. That's how it works in homicide.
So we gotta flip a coin every time we get in the car?
Stone, what's up with the suit?
Read them and weep, boys.
You're looking at the newest addition to the homicide unit.
So they lowered the requirements?
That's funny. You gonna open every door now, too?
Follow my lead.
Yeah, okay.
Vehicle's going South, down the street.
Victim gets shot while driving.
He loses control,
the vehicle jumps the curb, hits the building...
Victim gets out, staggers over here.
Another dead gangster.
Well, as long as they kill each other, they ain't killing us.
Whoa, wait a second.
You've seen him before?
Yeah,
on TV.
Calvin Gibbs.
All-conference tailback at Southeastern Michigan.
This guy's a local hero.
Officer down!
Let's get some help!
Hey, partner.
Wanna go for a spin?
Appreciate you coming by.
It was on my way.
Watch it here.
Sorry.
Something I've been thinking about.
Is this thing gonna follow me around forever?
What thing?
Am I always gonna be "that guy," you know,
who got shot on his first day on homicide?
Uh...
I knew this cop back in New York. Right?
Second week on the job, we're in this shoot-out.
He comes up to me after he's all panicked,
'cause he wet his pants.
He doesn't want anybody to find out,
'cause he knows he'll never live it down.
But I realized it wasn't urine on his pants, it was blood.
So, I tell him he got shot.
And he was very happy
to find out that news.
Sorry. So you're saying it could have been worse?
I could have pissed my pants?
I better get some rest. I need my strength.
Right.
Doctor says I'll be well enough to hold my son tomorrow.
Yeah, and congrats on the whole baby thing, by the way.
Hey, whatever happened to the cocktail
waitress you met at that casino?
I broke that up months ago.
You know, the whole long distance thing.
It's 10 minutes across the river.
Yeah, but it's still Canada.
I shouldn't have to leave the country to get some action, man.
We got a body pulled out of the river near Hart Plaza.
Caucasian, male, in his 20s.
Fishing boat was on its way in.
Spotted him in the river.
It's pretty dark. How'd they see him?
He was wearing this.
Huh. No wallet.
No I.D.
Okay. Back of the head, here.
Laceration.
Blunt force wound.
Wait a minute...
You hear that?
That's polka.
From that boat?
We're gonna need a ride.
Hey. Word gets out it's Gibbs, we're gonna have a riot.
Tell your guys.
Bullet penetrated above the right armpit,
exited below the left shoulder blade.
Probably bled out.
Yeah, well, not before trying to get away.
Pretty tough kid.
I used to watch him on TV,
knocking guys over and scoring touchdowns.
Some contusions around the eyes, some scratches.
They're not fresh.
He spent this summer doing volunteer work on the East Side.
I mean, he's gotta be what? Maybe 20?
God, what a waste.
Still on hold.
Didn't know you were here.
Well, Mason heard the kid was famous,
thought you could use a little help.
Yeah, listen, um,
I wanted to extend my condolences
on what happened to your partner.
I'm very sorry, it's terrible.
He's not dead.
What? No, I know that.
Our vic went out the driver's side,
but there's a blood swipe on this door. Which means...
Passenger. Yeah. We were thinking the same thing.
"We"?
Sanchez and I.
That's fantastic.
All right. Well, the bullet came
from the right side of the vehicle...
Right? So the passenger could be our shooter.
Casings would be on the floor.
Unless he used a revolver.
Dumped the vic's cell phone,
there's a good chance if they were riding together,
that they talked beforehand.
Yeah, but there's no cell. There's no cell phone.
Did you talk to dispatch? Did you listen to the 911 call?
No, I've been busy.
Well, I did.
Hello. Who's this?
What? Who's this?
This is Ellington. Uh...
You, where'd you get this?
On the ground.
I've been looking all over for that. Thank you very much.
Next time call 911. Victim called them from his cell phone.
Stay back there.
Calvin! No!
Move! Cal!
Cal! Where is he?
Where is he? Cal!
Listen to me!
Easy, people. Take it easy.
He was everything to us.
I'm so sorry.
How'd this happen though, man?
We got a lot of people we got to talk to...
Who did it? Did you talk to him?
You're Terrence? Yeah, my name is Terrence.
Terrence, I need you to calm down.
But what do you know? No, you don't know nothing.
Terrence, stay calm.
Oh, Cal, man!
Terrence? Listen to me. Listen.
That's my little brother, man.
We're gonna find the guy who did this.
Okay? We're gonna find the guy that did this to your brother.
I promise you that.
We'll find him.
Okay?
The passenger is your best lead.
If you wanna keep your promise, find his number on the phone.
Someone shelled out some serious coin for this.
Biggest day of your life.
Okay everybody, dip into your pockets,
it's time for the Pani Mloda!
Can somebody find me the groom?
Come on, we know you're out there, lucky guy.
Too late to hide now!
Your number was in Calvin Gibbs' phone and...
Hi, my name's Detective Stone, I'm calling from Detroit Homicide.
Hello...
Hi, my name is Detective Stone...
Hi, yes, this is Detective Sanchez, we're...
Is your father there? Your mom?
We're trying to reach and track down Shawna Johnson,
the phone number here is...
Yo, who this?
Who am I speaking to?
Is this Speedy?
What you want, man?
We're looking to find Calvin Gibbs.
He ain't dead?
Why would you ask that?
I heard it.
Speedy, where are you, man? Can I come talk to you?
I got nothing to say.
You know, we found some cash in Calvin's car.
You got any idea who that might belong to?
Was it in the glove?
Yeah, man, yeah. Come on in, claim it.
Mail it to me, bitch.
No? No.
I'm sure he'll call back.
What else we got?
I'm working on Shawna Johnson.
She's a high school student, but I haven't reached her yet.
She and Speedy were the last two people that Calvin spoke to.
Yeah, I know.
Why don't you two follow up with Speedy,
I'll track down Shawna.
Do we have a problem that we should talk about?
No.
Not that we should talk about.
Okay.
Ass.
Stan said he was going out for some air...
And then he never came back.
I guess I just lost track of time.
There was so much going on, photos, the toasts.
The money dance was just getting started...
But then, when Stan was supposed to break through the crowd
and dance with me...
That's when you guys showed up.
Easy, baby, easy.
Ma'am.
Can you think of any reason
that someone would want to hurt your husband?
No.
God, no.
He was the warmest,
most wonderful, gregarious man.
Everybody loved Stan.
My daughter had an idealized notion of the man she was marrying.
Not a fan of your son-in-law, huh?
You mean, would I kill him?
You married, Detective? Kids?
Thirty-five years. Two daughters.
Oh, well, then you get it.
If every father who didn't like his daughter's taste in guys
took things into his own hands...
Hell, you guys would need more prisons.
Mr. Borkowski.
What is it, Lynette?
Agnes is asking for you.
I have to take care of my little girl.
Yeah. Go ahead.
So I found where he went over.
Observation deck, two flights up.
There's blood on the deck, on the rail.
One thing we know, whoever killed him was at this wedding.
This is a mess.
Gunfight and a cop down right in our own building.
Detective Fitch was on it from the beginning.
Good, I need someone well-versed
in this case to help put out this fire.
Fitch, you know Assistant Prosecutor Williams.
Yep, I've seen her on TV, standing behind the Mayor.
I need your help, Detective. This thing has got a life of its own.
In addition to complicating my handling of the Burke prosecution,
it's also a major PR headache for the department and the city.
Well, I'll be sure to tell my partner
that his getting shot has been a big inconvenience to you.
All she's asking for is a little help.
I don't do spin control.
Fitch...
But you people are good at it.
"Us people"?
Administrators.
I'm a prosecutor.
Assistant prosecutor.
Wow! What's got you so pissed off?
We catch killers. What happens after you get 'em...
I don't always understand that part.
Well, we do what we can.
And you think that's sufficient?
Look,
it was a botched prisoner transfer, it happened.
It's not for me to put a face on it. Okay?
I can see you're upset by this.
Restricted duty might serve him well.
Give him a chance to gather his thoughts, recharge.
I'll manage my squad, thank you.
Is there something funny, Detective?
Are we done here?
'Cause there's a dead football player
whose murder I should probably be solving right now.
I need him on the street.
Shawna Johnson?
I'm Detective Fitch,
I'm looking into the death of Calvin Gibbs.
Well, she's pretty messed up right now,
maybe you just come back some other time.
Did you talk to Calvin last night?
Yeah. He was, um, looking for a friend of his that we grew up with.
Speedy?
Y'all looking at Speedy for this?
Well, we think he was with Calvin at the time of the murder.
Speedy's a wannabe, man.
He's always looking for a way to make Calvin pay off for him.
Calvin should've dropped Speedy a long time ago.
Do you know where we can find him?
Detroit Police! Open up!
Clear!
Speedy? Yo, hold up!
Hey!
Hold up!
Easy, easy.
You gonna cuff him or kiss him?
They really call you Speedy, huh?
I guess they mean that ironically.
A round has been discharged from this gun.
Care to tell us how?
We were driving, man.
A car passed by and took a shot at us. I shot back, man.
What kind of car?
I don't know. All I saw were tail lights.
Can you get me a soda?
Anything in a can will be fine.
Calvin, he just...
He just slumped over.
Yeah, that's what happens when you shoot a guy.
You're talking crazy, man. We grew up together!
We were best friends! I loved Calvin!
So you leave your best friend, who you love, and run like a coward?
I was scared they were gonna come back for me.
He was dead. There was nothing I could do!
No, no. He wasn't dead, Speedy.
He was hurt.
He got out of that car and he needed help.
Do you know how I know this? Hmm?
Because he called 911.
Don't talk.
Hello? - You're doing great.
Now ask him if he wants a beverage.
A what? A beverage.
Do you want a beverage?
A what?
A beverage.
Okay.
Hey.
What the hell is that about? Guy's a lefty.
He couldn't have shot Calvin.
Is there something you want to share?
If Speedy shot Calvin from the passenger seat,
it would have been point blank.
He would have left powder residue on Calvin's shirt,
which it did not have.
In addition, Calvin had a through and through.
Bullet entered his front, came out his back.
I don't see how a southpaw makes that shot.
We're on the wrong track here.
What?
Ask him about the bruises.
Ask him yourself!
How did Calvin get the marks and bruises on his face and neck?
Terrence.
Calvin's brother?
They get into it sometimes. Terrence is a punk, man.
Victim was an Ox.
Killer had to be a pretty strong guy to bring him down.
No murder weapon?
We got divers searching the river.
Stan was last seen during the first dance at 8:45,
fishermen spotted him at 9:03.
So we're matching that window
up against the digital time-date stamp of photos and videos.
And we've narrowed it down to these suspects
who were unaccounted for.
Fifteen? Who could all be the killer?
Or just camera shy.
Bring 'em in.
Terrence Randall Gibbs.
Ganged up with the East Side Royals.
Assault. Robbery. Two stints in prison.
It's not a motive to kill his brother.
But this might be. Calvin had a life insurance policy.
He was a college student, what could that be worth?
A lot.
Payout was based on projected earnings if he went pro.
Guess who the beneficiaries were?
His mother and big brother, Terrence Gibbs.
Let's go get him.
Hey, Fitch, can I have a minute?
There's a press conference today at 6:00, you gotta be there.
Chief approved your participation.
"...managed to pull an injured bystander to safety,
"even as he took aim on the perpetrator..."
You forgot the part where I walked
through fire and caught a falling baby.
It's close enough to the truth.
It's a dog and pony show, counselor.
I can't pretend to be some hero I'm not.
You being a hero is better press
than a first day detective getting shot in a station house.
This is nuts, Lieutenant.
I'll expect you there.
I'll get back to you on that.
Cover the back.
Terrence!
So, you already back at work, huh?
Yeah, I can't afford to lose the job. You know?
Look. You guys... You guys find out anything?
We're still working on it. Can we ask you some questions?
Yeah. Yeah, my break is in about 10 minutes...
We're gonna need you to come down
to the station right now. Okay?
Why?
We'll talk on the way.
What the hell is this, man?
Just wanna ask you some questions.
No, man. Are you serious?
I'm done with you, man.
Oh, man! Don't touch me!
Get off of me! You're wasting time, man!
I don't believe this!
You're wasting time!
I don't believe this, man. You're wasting time.
I didn't kill my brother!
So how long have you been working at that greasy spoon?
Six months.
You like it there?
It pays the bills.
What about Calvin?
Didn't he help pay the bills?
That wasn't his job.
His job was to keep running, catching and striving for greatness.
That's all I ever wanted from him.
Because of how you screwed it up for yourself, right?
Two years All-State cornerback,
followed by a string of minors,
running with the Royals.
Then, four years hard time in Jackson Prison
for felony, assault and robbery.
Man, what is this? This is Your Life, Terrence Gibbs?
I hope it's not your life, man.
Look, I straightened out my life years ago. All right?
Now, if you're so good at research, look that up.
I've been clean as a virgin since '05.
This is going nowhere.
Give Stone a little room.
Room, we got. Time, we don't.
I'll go check that number he gave us again,
see if his alibi checks out.
You know, it was pretty good, Terrence.
The way you showed up at the scene the other night,
all worked up like that. It was very convincing.
But you see, I'm not much of a drama fan,
I'm not buying it.
I think you killed your brother.
Why would I do that?
Life insurance,
on Calvin.
You're named the beneficiary.
He must have taken it out, man.
That's the kind of kid he was. You know he's...
Always more worried about us than anything.
Then why have you been smacking him around?
I wanted him to stay away from trouble.
And I wanted him to stay out of that club that they all went to,
and I wanted him to stay away from that thug who owns it, Goat.
Whenever me and Calvin fought, man,
it was always 'cause I wanted to keep him on a straight path, man.
Tough love?
Where I'm from, there ain't no other kind.
Talked to his sponsor. He was at a meeting. He got a chip.
Okay, do you know the last time that Calvin was at that club?
Yeah, last night.
Looks like a kielbasa convention out here.
All right. Uh...
Francsizek Wojciechowski.
Maybe, Francsizek Wojchichowski.
I don't know about these suspects, but their names are murder.
Massiyewhiz...
B. Karmazamic!
Franksid... Frank!
F. Banaskiawitz?
Really?
Okay. So, your relationship with the groom
was less than cordial then?
Cordial? We were at a family picnic with kids.
I grabbed the last beer and he sucker-punched me 'cross the jaw.
Haven't eaten steak in a month.
He used to hit on my wife all the time.
He sold me bad real estate deal.
Hit on my daughter. Broke my little girl's heart.
Kicked my dog.
My dog!
Stan was a real son of a bitch. Everybody knew it.
Real assbag.
I'm sorry, what?
Assbag.
You couldn't trust him.
Do me a favor,
when you find the guy who killed Stan, thank him for me.
So, we've narrowed it down to seven.
None confessed, but they all had opportunity and motive.
It seems like everyone who met him had a motive.
Who would want to marry this guy anyway?
He conned her into it. It's the whole marriage game.
Please don't get him started.
Which is exactly why I'm gonna keep
picking up girls with tramp stamps
at the blackjack table and not have
to worry about anything meaningful.
You guys talking about my love life again?
See? See? Back me up, Doctor.
Monogamy is just an untenable construct
that's in direct conflict with our species' biological imperative.
Why can't they all be as unromantic as you?
Still waiting on some tests back,
but initial findings are in on your dead bridegroom.
Toxicology's back, blood alcohol was .15.
Drunk at a wedding.
What a shocker.
Also, found trace amounts of semen in his urethra.
He had sex last night?
Not necessarily,
but it's possible he was overly stimulated.
So a woman could have killed him?
Sure.
Time to look for some ladies.
Sorry, folks. Invitation only.
Well, we're looking for Goat.
Well, you found him.
What kind of name is that?
It's a acronym.
Greatest Of All Time.
Calvin was a smart kid.
I saw the opportunity to broaden my business,
thought maybe he could be my guy in Bloomfield.
He declined, I was disappointed.
I told if he didn't want to do business with me,
then maybe he shouldn't be in my club.
So he left. What kind of business?
Sports apparel.
Sports apparel?
Yeah, I love them track suits.
Nothing to do with drugs, or pharmaceuticals...
I'm a legitimate businessman.
Yeah, right. I've heard about you.
Whatever you've heard about me,
I'm quite sure it's been exaggerated.
I mean, man, look around.
I'm hosting a party for my baby daughter's baptism,
but I still took the time out to meet with you nice people
because I'm civilized.
What time did you kick Calvin out?
Around 8:00, 8:30, I guess.
What were you doing after that?
I was in the champagne room with a couple of the girls.
They'll testify to that.
Hell, my DNA still might be back there to prove it.
You're a class act. You're gonna be a great father.
We'll be seeing you soon.
Talked to four witnesses who were at the club last night.
They all said that Goat and Calvin got into it more than once.
We should've just picked him up.
If he was gonna take Calvin out, he'd get it done right.
This thing was sloppy.
It was personal, not professional.
Speedy shot back. Maybe Goat wasn't counting on a gun fight.
No, this was someone who was angry, someone impulsive,
someone who was, maybe, following them.
Look, Goat had motive and opportunity, what else do we need?
How about proof?
Is this how it's gonna be?
Because I'm not gonna keep playing
nice waiting for you to lighten up.
This is me lightened up.
What is your damage, Fitch?
I gotta go look into something.
He's worried about Washington.
Yeah, sure.
Detectives,
you guys were at that club on Harrison earlier?
We just got a call from there. Multiple shots fired.
It's Goat. Ma'am, did you see what happened?
It was Terrence Gibbs.
Terrence Randall Gibbs, black male,
5'8", 170, wanted for homicide.
Last seen on Cass and Temple in a blue Challenger.
Suspect is armed with a semi-automatic weapon.
Notify customs and the CIC, just in case he's headed for Windsor.
Guy kills somebody in front of 100 witnesses,
he's not hiding.
Hmm?
Till death do us part.
Yup. The only thing better than going to a wedding,
is watching video of a wedding.
Over and over and over...
Stop. Okay, 8:47.
There's a whole bunch of women.
The bride and her bridesmaids...
One, two... One of them's missing.
Hmm.
Where's our buddy Lynette?
All right, we're on the way.
We got a unit on the mom's house.
If he shows up they'll get him.
We have a trespassing report at McKinley High.
Adult male on campus, they are requesting assistance.
That's Calvin's old high school.
2-7-2-1 responding.
Terrence, I need to see your hands.
Terrence?
Terrence, put your hands up!
You couldn't wait, could you?
You didn't bust him.
Was this worth it?
You're gonna spend the rest of your life back in jail.
Calvin was my life.
Come on.
Hi, Shawna. Detective Fitch.
Yeah, I remember.
Shawna, did Calvin come and see you after he left the club,
before he met up with Speedy?
No.
No?
Okay, 'cause I got this problem. All right?
This is a college football magazine from last year.
There's a photo of Calvin
and the caption reads, "Who is LaLa?"
And then it struck me, when we spoke this morning,
how much I admired your necklace.
LaLa. That's you, right?
You were with Calvin last night, weren't you?
I loved him so much.
Derek found out,
he was jealous
and he went out looking for Calvin, right?
Is Derek here?
Can you open the door, please?
Go ahead, open the door, please.
Thank you.
Do me a favor, take two steps to your left.
Just two steps.
Please.
Detroit PD! Derek! On the floor!
Get up, get on the floor! Let me see your hands.
Get down! On the floor. Don't make me shoot you.
Well, reviewing the wedding video,
we noticed that when this picture was being taken
of all the bridesmaids,
you weren't there.
It's possible. I did go to the bathroom a few times, so,
yeah.
Okay, well, maybe this will help jog your memory.
This was from a few minutes earlier.
There.
Is that when you were going to the bathroom?
Yeah...
Yes, definitely.
Okay. Mmm-hmm.
I guess that clears that up. Great.
Thanks for coming down. Thank you.
Except, hold on, hold on. Okay.
The bathrooms, they're over there.
That way. And you went that way
directly to the observation decks.
Hmm.
I guess... Um...
That's right, I went out to get some air.
Okay. Yeah.
Well, see... Hmm.
What?
Well, it's just that, you know,
according to the time code of the video now,
that puts her in direct proximity of the observation deck
at the time of the groom's murder.
Wait! You don't think...
I didn't kill him! Lynette...
How well did you know Stan?
I told him it had to stop as soon as they got engaged,
but she was, you know, saving herself,
so he kept calling.
Last night, up on the deck, it was supposed to be for the last time,
like saying goodbye,
but when I went up to meet him, he was just strange.
He said he felt, like, achy all over.
He wanted me to go get him a glass of water.
So I did, and when I came back,
he was gone.
Aren't you ashamed?
What? That he ditched me, you mean?
Uh, no, I think he means, did it bother you having sex
with a man who just married your friend?
Yeah, how about that?
I guess I just got caught up in the romance of it all.
You should have seen the ceremony,
it was so beautiful.
You wanna tell him?
Yeah.
Sorry it ended up like this.
You know, you're not such a bad guy when you don't want to be.
Well, I never want to be.
You know that expression, "Things are gonna get worse
"before they get better?"
I think we're in one of those situations right now.
We picked up this kid. Name's Derek Milner.
He's a boyfriend of Shawna Johnson.
Yeah, she used to go out with Calvin,
back in school.
She broke his heart, but he moved on.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.
You see, after Goat kicked him out
of the club, Calvin went to her place.
They spent some time together, alone, then he met with Speedy.
Only, Derek found out.
He followed Calvin and Speedy and started shooting.
Speedy got away.
Your brother didn't.
You killed the wrong guy, Terrence.
I kept my promise, man. Why couldn't you trust me?
He's my little brother.
She's telling the truth. Final report came back with cardiac results
indicating multiple MI.
He died of a massive heart attack,
probably brought on by his state of arousal.
So, when the first MI hit, he must have fallen backwards
and hit his head on the banister, here.
He tried to steady himself, that's when the second MI hit.
We thought that was from a struggle.
Too late. Over and in.
Hmm.
Well, so ends the wedding from hell, huh?
Aren't they all from hell?
I gotta take this.
Hey, man. Hey.
Mason wanted me to leave these papers for you to sign.
Little man, this is my partner.
Partner, this is my little man.
He's a cute kid.
He's got big ears.
Why, thank you.
I'm Lauren.
Sorry. I'm Louis, or Lou.
Lou is fine.
What's his name?
Uh, Fitch.
Fitch Washington? Really?
Yeah, man.
No.
It's Martin, after Reverend King. Oh!
Do you... You wanna hold him?
No.
He looks good just like that.
How's work?
People keep getting murdered.
So I got a job to come back to?
It's still there if you want it.
Mmm-hmm.
Long day, huh?
Yeah. Short honeymoon.
Marriage doesn't have to be like that.
The lies, the betrayals.
Trust me, when it works, it works.
You really miss her, don't you?
Just when I wake up in the morning and go to bed at night
and every moment in between.
In 35 years, my wife never broke a promise to me.
And there was only one promise I wasn't able to keep.
And that's when I retired, we'd move to Tuscany.
That's why you're buying that house?
Exactly.
She was a good woman, man.
Yes, she was.
Too good for you.
Night, now.
Goodnight.
Three days ago shots were fired in the Detroit Police Station
injuring a local detective...
I'm gonna leave you two alone to enjoy little Marty, there.
Martin. Martin.
Thanks for coming by.
Yes, thank you.
Don't forget to sign those.
Right. Right.
You know he's weird, right?
I mean, like, strange.
Babe, you need a partner you can depend on.
Someone that will have your back.
I don't trust that guy.
For this unfortunate incident is one
we as a city need to put behind us,
but before we do, we should acknowledge some of the individuals
who heroically rose to the occasion at a time of crisis.
Detective Fitch.
Yeah, I worked the case from start to finish. It was a tough one.
And what happened there at the station house,
that was the toughest part.
But the important thing is, my partner, Detective Damon Washington,
he's new to the job, he's in the hospital right now.
If anyone acted like a hero, it was him.
Or he. It was he.
But, that kid, that's the type of cop Detroit needs right now.
And that's all I wanted to say.
Detective Fitch, we have a question for you...
Detective Washington is... He's doing all right. Thank you.
Detective Fitch!
Can you say 'papa'?
