PROVENZA: Flynn!
911 dialed at 2:07 am.
No officers were dispatched here until the maids came this morning.
BREN DA: Maybe the call didn't go through.
So we have seven victims shot to death.
Five young men, two young ladies. Do we know who these people are?
The guys all had ID, but the girls only had business cards.
All right, looks like the girls are from the same modeling agency:
Hollywood Tease.
This is Candy on the couch, .and you are with Delight..
Looks like this began with the two guys at the door.
They got C-Street tats. Means they're Clinton Street Crips.
Probably the security team, but they never drew their weapons.
Either knew the guy or a professional hit which explains why there are no casings.
And who are these young men?
Well, the rapper's name was Christopher Brooks.
- Chris Brooks- FLYNN: A.k.a. C-Game.
You can download his new single for free.
Gang members, empty vodka bottles...
joints in the ashtray, half-naked girls...
I mean, It's like a murder had to happen.
BRENDA: Is this C-Game famous? SANCHEZ: Never heard of him, chief.
- He's probably more of an up-and-corner. - Then who lives here?
Lieutenant Tao, would you please look up the title on the house?
[WOMAN SPEAKING OVER DISPATCHER]
GABRIEL: Walt a minute, chief.
Oh, my God, I know two of these guys.
They're brothers. Their father is a deacon at my church.
Both his kids, man, that's...
BRENDA: How long since you've seen them?
Uh, guess since they went off to college.
But I see their family all the time. They're good people, It's just...
Gabriel, look, we've got drugs and strippers here.
These guys may have been skipping Sunday school lately.
Right, they smoked a little pot. I understand, but that does...
You have IDs. Are these guys from Clinton Street?
Yeah, but not every black kid on Clinton is a Crip.
- You know that. FLYNN: Oh, come on, Gabriel.
This kid called himself “C-Games” That's slang for cocaine.
I know what the name means.
- He won't have a record, look it up. - All right, that's enough.
Lieutenant Flynn, Detective Gabriel...
would you please check out the rest of the house, see what else we can find?
Thank you.
Nine times out of 10, chief, rap means gangs.
And gangs usually means drugs.
BRENDA: May be true, but in the interest of a unified approach...
.let's not jump to conclusions, thank you.
The L.A.P.D. has a joint task force with the FBI looking into the rap business.
Probably gonna grab this case, chief.
And Chief Delk announces his reorganization tomorrow.
Yeah, who knows? Major Crimes may already be a thing of the past.
Title on the house belongs to a company called Shanked, Inc.
Shanked? It's a record label, hand les lots of rappers.
I need to speak to someone from Shanked...
the slaughter in their living room.
- What's this stuff on the floor? TAO: Foam. Insulation material. I
I already sent off a few pictures to SID.
Chief, Buzz, we found something.
Oh.
Is this C-Game's room?
No, this stuff belongs to his brother, Kevin
It still doesn't prove they were gang.
David, since these boys lived in Clinton and you're acquainted with the parents...
You want me to do the notification?
Yes, please. Thank you. I know you can handle it.
[SIGHS]
So, lieutenant, how much would you say Is here?
I had Property count it. Totals 750000 on the nose.
Yeah, like we said, rap means gangs, gangs means drugs.
BRENDA: But if it was a drug deal gone sideways...
why murder seven and leave the cash behind?
PROVENZA: As to the, uh, two young ladies...
we have Michelle Simpson, a.k.a. Candy, 19, uh, Seattle...
and Rina Watkins a.k.a. Delight, 20, Detroit.
And, uh, maybe Gabriel can tell us about our Clinton Street boys.
David?
Yes? Oh, yes, uh...
Christopher Brooks, a.k.a. C-camel got his degree in music from UCLA.
And his brother, Kevin Brooks, graduated USC with a degree In economics.
His parents said that neither of them have ever been Involved with gangs.
But they're both on the record company's payroll.
Shanked, owned by Antwone Decker, lifelong Crip, with a sheet to prove It.
Drugs, extortion and probably worse, chief.
If he owns the company, he owns the house where we found our victims.
Lets invite Mr. Decker in for a chat, please.
Criminal record Gabriel's right no a.k.a. C-Game. I
But I got his bio off the Shanked Records website.
It says his debut album drops next week.
And according to this, his brother, Kevin, was his manager.
[CRASH]
TAYLOR: Uh, just packing a few of my boxes back here.
Sorry, it slipped.
Yeah.
We have this, chief. Copy of the 911 call from last night.
[RINGING]
WOMAN [OVER RECORDING]: 911, what's your emergency?
[RAP MUSIC PLAYING OVER RECORDING]
Hello?
911, what's your emergency?
Communications never located the signal so it was classified as “unknown trouble.”
Have you found anything else useful from the victims' cell phones?
Oh, the girls give us a pretty detailed timeline on the night.
10:45 p.m., Rina texts her service...
that she and Michelle have arrived at the house.
11:51 p.m., Michelle downloads C-Game's single.
11:58 to 12:09, they take pictures.
12:16 am., someone orders pizzas from Michelle's phone.
And then at 2:07 a.m., Rina sends her last call to 911.
Got an advanced copy of the department's new chart.
Delk makes this official at a news conference tomorrow.
Notice anything?
[BRENDA GASPS]
He's keeping Major Crimes.
Yes, that, congratulations.
But look here, I am now Captain of Traffic, Valley Bureau.
Oh, Will, I'm so sorry.
That's just terrible. I don't believe this.
I won't accept the job, of course, I but I still have to be out tomorrow.
After which you will be directing Inquiries...
to new assistant chief, Russell Taylor.
Oh.
Believe it or not It may be getting worse.
- I just found out there are- RAYDOR: Good afternoon, chief.
Chief Johnson, Chief Pope, may we speak privately, please?
I'm in the middle of...
You're in the middle of it, all right. Let's go.
What's on your mind, chief?
Pizza. Someone ordered it.
We had vodka bottles, joints in the ashtrays and half-naked girls.
But where was the pizza?
Chief Johnson, last summer, did Major Crimes Investigate the murders...
of an elderly convenience-store owner and his 8-year-old grandson...
referred to as the Shootin' Newton Murders?
In the course of closing a case in which three Army rangers were shot to death...
yes, we dealt with Shootin' Newton. Why?
Did you obtain a confession from the suspect, Turell Baylor...
that you could not use in court?
I asked the DA to give Turell immunity. So yes, his confession was useless..
Did you then escort Turell, a gang member, back to his house?
- After which he was beaten to death? - What is this?
Turell's mother has filed a civil suit...
against this city, the L.A.P.D., Chief Pope...
yourself and every member of your division for the death of Turell Baylor.
Oh, for heaven's sakes.
RAYDOR: One of the more serious accusations in her suit...
is that you drove Mr. Baylor home knowing that he could be executed...
by his own gang members, thus depriving him of due process.
A frivolous lawsuit, the city attorney's office gets one...
every time we shoot someone, add It to the pile.
Other filings of this sort are one page. This one is over 40.
RAYDOR: Chief Johnson, did you know...
that Mr. Baylor would be murdered after you dropped him off at his house?
I'm not a fortune teller. He asked me to take him home, I took him there...
I did nothing wrong.
RAYDOR: Well, then, a transparency audit...
of the Shootin' Newton Murder should make that perfectly clear.
An audit comes close to questioning my professional conduct.
This lawsuit comes close to questioning the conduct of our whole department.
So while we're fighting I to get charges dismissed...
you will cooperate with Raydor and refrain from discussing...
either the subject or the allegations In the complaint with other defendants
How about I just quit?
I'll tie this lawsuit around your neck.
Tell the city attorney that whatever happened to Baylor...
was a consequence of your own personal actions.
If that's what you want, go ahead.
Quit.
I'm doing what's best .for everyone here,
Try to be helpful, Chief Johnson...
for your own sake.
So, urn, Chief Johnson, I want you to know...
that I did not instigate this Investigation Into your conduct.
- I am here on assignment and my... - So much for us being friends.
Ask for whatever you need from Lieutenant Provenza. I
Oh, chief, you okay? What was that all about?
Reorganization stuff, nothing serious. Let's not think about it now.
So, urn, the pizza that was ordered by our victims?
TAO: The delivery guy, Marcus Jackson, just turned 18.
But his juvie rap shows two robberies and an assault.
Yeah, he's a member of the 5-0 Bloods and he's missing.
Just got off the phone with his boss at Big Pie.
And he says Marcus took off...
on a delivery last night about 1:30 a.m., never got back.
I put a want out on him.
We've got, uh, Flynn and Gabriel looking for him now.
Okay, and the owner of the record company, Shanked, Antwone...?
Decker.
We got calls out to his people. Waiting to hear back.
But look what I found on C-Game's phone.1
Who is she?
His girlfriend, Keisha Murphy.
She was at the house with him before the murders.
BRENDA: How do you know she was his girlfriend?
I checked the texts between Keisha and C-Game.
Oh, my. Certainly were friendly, weren't they?
It's called sexting, chief.
Lots of young people send naked pictures...
of themselves to cement their relationship...
This Keisha, not at home, didn't show up for work this morning.
Well, urn, I need to talk to Keisha.
She may be the last person .to see our victims alive.
SANCHEZ: Check it out, chief.
I bought this insulated take-out bag off a pizza-delivery guy downstairs.1
TAO: Foam, same stuff we found at the scene.
If our killer shot through a bag like this, it would muffle the noise.
Also explains why there were no casings.
- Maybe it was a planned hit. - Oh whom?
- C-Game? - That's what the press is suggesting.
All this attention has made this kid's single...
.the number one downloaded song online, the video is everywhere.
Well, it's one way to get to the top of the charts.
Too bad the kid won't be around to enjoy It.
TAO: His record label will.
Antwone Decker is gonna rake it in.
C-GAME [RAPPING]: Do your own thing
I'm the new man You're a has been
We doin' shoppin' sprees I bought her new clothes
I love starin' at her pretty little rose
We so fl We chillin' in the Lear
And I never knew how small you were From up here
Fritzy, what are you doing here?
- Just saying hi. - Uh-huh.
And, uh, wondering, as FBI liaison...
why the L.A.P.D. wants to talk to Antwone Decker.
- Who says we do? - Brenda.
He's the principal person of interest In a joint FBI-L.A.P.D. investigation
We have wires set up around him. We heard Sanchez call this morning.
Are you going to let me in?
Oh, all right.
If you must know, we've got questions...
for Decker about seven murders including a rapper he was representing.
C-Game?
Urn, excuse me, chief, I'm gonna duck out, talk to the press.
If you could try to keep ahead of this story, I'd appreciate it.
So, uh, carry on.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
Did he just tell us to carry on?
- Let's not think about that now. - Well, what kind of bull...
I said let's not think about it. I don't want to think about it.
What do you know about this case?
I know C-Game's brother, Kevin, distributed coke for Decker.
Coke. Might explain where all the money we found...
Ooh.
FRITZ: Money? What money?
Wait, you found money?
- Brenda. - Yeah
The FBI and the LARD. Have been Investigating Decker for years.
- If we can tie drug money to him- - Money laundering?
I saw seven dead kids this morning.
If Decker is involved, he should go to jail for murder.
Decker is never gonna talk.
You're gonna find 100 people between him and the actual shooter.
No, he has a record. He has been caught before.
Because he does stupid things when angry and paranoid.
He's not gonna give you a chance to get him upset, trust me.
You know so much about him...
tell me what motive he had for knocking off C-Game and his brother.
His deal with Shanked was bad, Kevin was shopping his brother to another label.
Did Decker know about that?
I'm told that the task force...
.may have leaked information to Decker In such a way he found out, yeah.
- You guys made Kevin Brooks a target? - First, there's no “you guys” okay?
This is a joint task force between the L.A.P.D. and FBI.
I'm just the messenger. The fact is...
The fact is seven people may have been murdered...
.because Kevin Brooks was used as bait.
[SIGHS]
Look, I need to know who your task force might have...
Joint task force.
Starting with the person who told Decker what Kevin was doing.
I'll find out but I'm telling you, Decker is untouchable.
Nothing we do is gonna put him In your room.
We'll see about that.
[DOOR OPENS]
SANCH EZ: Excuse me, chief.
Antwone Decker won't talk to us butt his attorney is here to speak with you.
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Chief, Captain Raydor is asking me for the murder book on our Shootin'...
Just assist her with whatever she needs.
Any idea what this is about?
Yes, it's about to make me crazy, that's what it's about.
Just help her, please.
Oh, that woman!
Okay.
[CHUCKLING]
Okay, great. All right, I'll speak to you soon.
Mr. Braddock, how can I help you?
Someone from the L.A.P.D. called my client's office, Antwone Decker...
.said Chief Johnson wanted to speak with him.
I'm Deputy Chief Johnson.
Where is Mr. Decker?
Busy. Maybe you could tell me what this is about.
Several young people found murdered in a house owned by your client.
Can you tell me who was in the house?
- Victims one through seven. - I see.
We also removed this very heavy aluminum briefcase from the house.
I can't help but wonder if the murders had to do with its contents.
Let me see what's inside. I'll give you my best guess.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
You know, it doesn't feel right...
my opening this case without your client present. I
Sorry.
Chief Johnson?
Pleasure meeting you, Mr. Braddock.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Oh, shoot. Yes, lieutenant?
We found our pizza guy, Marcus Jackson.
- But I don't think he's our shooter. - Why not?
Well, for one thing, he's got no shirt, no pizza bag...
and no pulse.
[BRENDA GRUNTS]
It's just not fair, this investigation into my conduct.
Especially since I didn't break any laws.
It'll blow over. You get hit with these lawsuits all the time.
No, no, this one's serious. I've seen it.
Oh, Raydor is poking around those Shootin' Newton Murders...
going over every square inch of my work, looking for impro...
Impro... Imp-...
- Impropriety? I - Improprieties.
Shoot.
And I... Oh, I'm sorry.
- I didn't know you were reading. - It's okay.
BREN DA: Oh.
And Turell Baylor is a murderer.
He killed two people, two.
And I'm being sued.
Isn't Pope protecting you?
He can't even protect himself. He's on his way out.
Stop, don't be happy about it.
Taylor taking his place. Ugh, I don't think I could stand It.
God, if I could just quit.
Here I am, under the gun...
for supposedly setting up Turell Baylor to be murdered...
while you people did the same to Brooks.
Not “you people." It's FBI and L.A.P.D.
Joint task force.
They knew Brooks was shopping his brother around...
behind Antwone Decker's back.
They set that boy up to see...
what some dangerous, psychotic gangster would do.
- Now seven people are dead. - And the pizza boy.
Eight. Eight people have been murdered.
If Decker's really responsible...
why did he kill all the people In the house...
Including the guy selling coke for him then leave the money behind?
I don't know.
You pulled that stunt with his lawyer, Decker's gonna want his $750,000 back.
What if I don't have it? The money, I mean.
But you do have it.
What if I didn't?
You think Antwone Decker would go nuts?
Brenda, if he does, you make sure you're not In the same room with him.
Yeah, we'll talk about it in the morning.
Oh, I don't know if I can sleep with everything that's going on.
It's so infuriating to work so hard for so long...
with so little appreciation from people.
What's that?
You wanted to know who might have told Decker...
that Kevin Brooks was shopping his brother to another record label.
It's a list. - Aah.
[LAUGHS]
Ooh!
See? I appreciate you.
Heh, yes, you do.
And I'm naked.
[GASPS]
Yes, you are.
[C-GAME'S “SHE'S MINE” PLAYING ON TV]
Look at me now She's rollin' with a G
She used to be yours Now she rollin' with me
. All right
'Cause she's with me tonight
BRENDA: Good morning, everybody. - Ah, chief.
Now, who profits from...
Sanchez, turn that down.
[VOLUME INCREASES THEN MUTES]
Sorry, sir.
Chief, who profits from the increased album sales after C-Game's death?
Antwone Decker.
Who owns the house where our victims were murdered?
Antwone Decker.
Now take a guess as to who is waiting now for you In Interview Room 2.
- Antwone Decker. - Uh-huh.
He must really wanna know what's in that briefcase.
PROVENZA: Uh-huh.
Arranged as requested.
Decker's not here to confess.
We'll see.
Uh, lieutenant, is everybody ready?
Uh, Tao is placing the tracking device on Decker's car as we speak.
- As long as we have access to the wires. - Yes.
Very well. Uh...
And Chris Brooks' girlfriend. Have we found her yet?
Uh, Keisha Murphy? No, not yet, chief.
But I have an SIS Unit sitting in front of her house.
So, you know, the moment she comes home, we'll...
[SIGHS]
David?
What is it?
Just I promised Mr. Brooks that everyone would know...
his boys were not Crips, not gang.
That we would arrest the killer but if Decker doesn't admit...
We have a plan, David.
Let's see what happens before we start making excuses, okay?
Lieutenant, here are the names of everyone...
who might have informed Antwone Decker...
Kevin Brooks was shopping C-Game to other record producers.
- Look at this, Keisha Murphy. BRENDA: I know.
She's everywhere but here. I need to find her.
See what Decker has to say.
Uh, lieutenant, wasn't there something you wanted to tell the chief?
Oh, right, right. Heh.
Chief, it's a good thing that Captain Raydor is doing...
whatever it is she's doing here.
Urn, otherwise, I may have forgotten to tell you...
that Taylor wants to be informed before you Interview anybody...
uh, so he can observe.
Lieutenant, I'm starting my interview with Antwone Decker.
Please let the commander know.
- Thank you so much. - Yes, ma'am.
Uh, chief, the commander also would like you to wear an earwig...
- ...so he can communicate with you during- - Ha, ha.
I'd love to communicate with the commander too.
Soon as I find the right words, I will. Excuse me.
Let's make this quick.
Mr. Braddock.
Mr. Decker, I'm Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.
I wonder if I might have a moment with you alone.
What is this?
My client agreed to come here for one reason.
Now, he has the right to an attorney.
I have the right to walk out with this and not come back.
So, Mr. Decker, I suggest that you revoke...
and ask Mr. Braddock to step out of the room.
Yo, B, give us a second, man.
Thank you.
This must be a difficult time for you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Yeah, you know, tragic.
I understand that Chris Brooks was a talented young man.
Any idea who might have done this to him?
Kid was a hustler.
If you didn't have what he wanted, you weren't much good to him.
People don't like that. It ain't loyal.
No, it's not.
Is that why you had security watching him at your house?
Because he was disloyal?
Hey, you know what? It's a scary world.
You gotta take precautions.
Turns out I was right.
The kid had problems.
Problems with gangs I or problems with drugs?
You're the cop. You figure it out.
So are you gonna show me what's in that damn case or what?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Oh, my. It looks like this case used to be filled with lots of money.
I'm guessing that cash belonged to you?
Lieutenant, I told you I wanted to observe Chief Johnson's Interviews.
Well, the suspect said he wouldn't wait for you.
Chief Delk, please.
You don't understand what's going on right now.
Chief Johnson, I need to...
[MICROPHONE DISTORTS]
Buzz, I told you I wanted her to have an earwig.
I forgot to give it to her.
Any idea who might have taken that cash?
Oh, Mr. Decker, don't go away mad.
What just happened in there?
We may be very close to arresting Mr. Decker for attempted murder. I
- Attempted murder of whom? - We're about to find out. Excuse me.
Got him. Looks like he's going west on Olympic.
BRENDA [OVER RADIO]: Don't stay any closer to Decker than you need to, please.
Be careful. He gets mean when he's angry.
I FLYNNJ Copy that. I
- Provenza, what the hell are you doing? - Just trying to follow policy, okay?
Decker's making a call.
Okay, wait. I'll patch it in.
GIZ [OVER SPEAKER]: What's up, Antwone? What you want?
DECKER [OVER SPEAKER]: I need to get that bitch, Keisha Murphy.
GIZ: Keisha Murphy? What did she do?
DECKER: Took my money then ran straight back to that DeAndre kid.
GIZ: DeAndre? I thought she broke up with that fool.
- He's turning north on Western. FLYNN [OVER RADIO]: Copy. One block back.
GIZ: Where he at? DECKER: You know. Living with his mom.
GIZ: Got it, 1674 South Mansfield. See you there.
DECKER: Bring Tops and Bumper with you.
I can't trust no one but us on this, all right? I'm on my way.
Well, he hung up. That's it.
[OVER RADIO]: 1674 South Mansfield
- Looks like you're in business. - Copy.
You know what?
Maybe hand me one of those, okay?
We're back in C-Street territory, one block from Chris' house.
Damn it. Those boys turn out to be Crips.
TAO: That's Decker's car over there He got here about a minute ago
He went in that house with his friends.
Okay, the house belongs to a Florence Harmon. I
She's got a 22-year-old son, DeAndre Harmon.
TAO [OVER RADIO]: Yeah, copy that, chief.
[GUNSHOT]
Let's go. Go, go, go.
Shots fired. Officer needs help.
Go, go, go.
GABRIEL: Police. FLYNN: I said, freeze, damn It.
SANCHEZ: Drop those weapons.
Freeze, or I'll shoot.
Put your hands up in the air.
P ROVE NZA: Come on over here now.
[CLAMORING]
[WOMAN SCREAMS]
You tell me where my money is right now.
Drop the gun. Do it.
I'm gonna count to three. One.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
- Do it now. DECKER: Wanna die, bitch?
Ahh! - Get on the ground. Get on the ground.
Two.
[GRUNTS]
[GASPING]
TAO: Take deep breaths. Take deep breaths.
You're okay. You'll live.
You okay? Keisha?
Okay.
Chief, we're good. We're good and we found Keisha Murphy.
We got her, chief.
You're okay now.
You led your prime suspect In eight murders...
to believe money had been stolen from him to see who he would try to kill?
I needed to know who he thought stole his cash.
The fact we caught him in the act of attempted murder Is a huge bonus.
Chief Johnson, shots were fired.
The girl's been badly beaten.
Not to mention the man who tried to defend her.
Oh, my God, her face.
I thought I told you to watch her.
Chief, If we're to be held accountable...
for what suspects do after we question them...
we might as well turn in our badges.
That's not the issue, chief, because whatever our business as usual Is...
you and the L.A.P.D. are currently being sued...
for endangering the life of a black gang member
Now, you have just gone and done the exact same thing again.
The attorney that represents Turell Baylor will look at this, say...
that it points to a past pattern and practice of willful disregard...
Excuse me. Allow me to help you here?
Consider this my parting gift.
Chief Johnson has shown a pattern of arresting murderers...
and a past practice of getting confessions that hold up In court.
No matter how upset you are with her...
if you won't let her quit over this suit...
you will never fire her or even demote her until this case Is dismissed.
I suggest you let Chief Johnson wrap up these murders...
so that you can once again look like a hero at her expense.
And I will go on my merry way.
You may have caught Antwone Decker in the act of attempted murder...
but do you think you can get him to confess his Involvement...
in these eight other homicides?
We won't know if you keep me here.
Look, all these people have been read their rights.
The last thing I need Is for them to calm down...
and start thinking about lawyers before I Interview them.
So may I, please?
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I swear I didn't take Antwone's money.
I'd be a fool trying to rip him off.
God, he... He was gonna kill me.
Okay, Miss Murphy, let's back up for a moment.
We know that you were with Chris at Antwone's house...
the night he was shot.
Why did you leave?
Chris told me his brother was getting some girls.
You know, like strippers.
And I got mad.
He wanted me to stay, but...
Why were you hiding at DeAndre's house?
Because I was afraid, okay?
Figured Antwone would come after me next...
and that he wouldn't look for me at my ex-boyfriend's.
[RAPPING]... a little tighter, you little punk She's mine, let's go, let's go
Why did you figure Antwone would come after you next?
Because I knew Kevin was going around Antwone's back.
And Antwone, he...
He saw dollar signs with Chris...
told him the way he turned his life Into rhymes would make him huge.
When 1 heard what happened yesterday...
I knew it was Antwone and I got scared.
Ran.
Forgot he knew I used to be with DeAndre.
Oh, God. Antwone was gonna kill us both.
[SINGS INDISTINCTLY]
Mr. Harmon, thank you so much for your patience.
I just have, uh, some paperwork here for your signature.
Uh, this is a complaint in which you accuse Antwone Decker of trying to kill you.
And this is a form in which you basically say It was all In good fun.
You just, uh, sign whichever one you feel is appropriate.
Well, I ain't accusing Decker of nothing.
Where Keisha at? She all right?
BRENDA: Oh, she's fine.
I didn't realize the two of you used to go out.
I take it Keisha told you about what happened to Chris and Kevin Brooks.
You live around the corner from each other?
Yeah. I know those dudes.
We grew up together.
- And were you all still close? DEAN DRE: Yeah.
We close, sure.
I'm curious as to why you weren't at that house two nights ago...
celebrating with your friends.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I mean, I was-I was there the night before that.
But then, you know.
They got back off a tour and they got busy, you know?
Hmm. That's Hollywood, right?
People make it big then can't be bothered anymore.
Was that kind of what it was?
DEANDRE: I guess, maybe, you know?
I mean, Chris, he started getting a little heat for his rhymes...
and he hooked up with Decker and...
You know, like, we was all gonna take this ride together. I
But I guess the limo wasn't big enough for all of us.
You know what I mean? Ha, ha.
It's cool, though.
You know, I helped him out in high school...
helped him slip, you know.
Told all my boys that Chris was off-limits.
So Chris and Kevin, they were never C rips?
[LAUGHS]
You kidding? Hell, no. Pfft.
And Keisha met Chris when?
Six months ago, something like that.
I me, but then he wasn't Chris no more.
He was C-Game. Ha, ha.
Yeah.
- Why - I don't know.
Just seemed like, first, C-Game kind of pushed you away...
and then he stole your girlfriend.
She told you that?
No, C-Game did.
In the lyrics to his single.
It's pretty clear what happened.
“It's time to move on, I do your own thing.
I'm the new man. You're a has been.”
BRENDA: Not a lot of respect in those words.
Not a lot of gratitude...
not a lot of loyalty.
“We're so fly that we're chilling in the Lear.
And I never knew how small you were from up here.”
“Never slip, never fall.
Because I'm gonna kick you when you're down.
You're looking at a king, homeboy. Bow down.”
He's humiliating you, DeAndre.
What do you want me to say, lady?
Where were you the night before last?
I was with my mom.
Look, I didn't kill nobody over that skank-ass bitch.
That was history. I was done a long time ago.
Oh, I believe you, 100 percent.
But I'm having that gun that we found at your house tested Just the same.
And if it matches to the bullets that we found in C-Game...
you're going away for eight counts of murder.
Your lawyer's never gonna let you talk again.
This is your only chance to set C-Game's record straight.
- C-Game, who's that? - The guy sleeping with Keisha.
That's who he was.
Now, do you want people to say that you shot up C-Game...
because some girl broke your heart?
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Or do you want the world to know you were teaching C-Game a lesson?
Ain't no damn C-Game, man. Stop saying that.
That's a bullshit, made-up-ass name, man, like he some big-time banger.
He didn't know nothing about none of that.
That stuff he got popping off right now?
All that's luck, man.
I'm the one who watched over his ass his whole life.
I protected him.
Then he want to come to my hood, take my girl?
He want to write songs about it talking about some “move on”...
and “get over it” all over the radio, all on TV.
Got people coming up to me...
asking me questions, laughing at me like I'm some punk-ass bitch?
Hell, no. Homey ain't even going down like that, man.
You should have seen when I first pulled the trigger.
You should have looked at his face.
He wasn't no C-Game then. He wasn't none of that.
He knew it was gone, it was over, finished.
Now who moving on, huh? He Is, that's who.
And his brother and Ty and them bitches.
Yeah. Yeah.
[SCOFFS]
They moving on.
That's who.
And I'm here.
So who's looking small now?
Not me.
[DOOR OPENS]
[TAYLOR HUMMING]
Oh. Sorry.
I, uh, thought you had left already.
No, the, uh, new maintenance manager's a little overwhelmed...
with so many people leaving.
I'm just killing time.
- Make yourself at home. - No, no, no, I should, uh...
I should get back.
Chief Johnson is settling up her arrests...
before Delk goes down to his press conference.1
All right. I'll go with you.
Take a last look around.
Yeah.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars...
that used to belong to Antwone Decker...I
now belongs to the FBI as long as you sign here.
I really should count it first.
Don't I get a “thank you”?
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
- Oh. - Please, come right in.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Uh, sorry for interrupting. Ahem.
Uh, DeAndre Harmon is on his way to County right now.
I'm a little concerned.
Given the connections I that Antwone Decker has...
Mr. Harmon may not be safe In general population.
Protective custody, that what you're saying?
Yes. I can make the transfer myself if you'd like.
- The two of you can get back to- - Fine.
Thank you.
[DOOR CLOSES]

She's put several knives in it already.

I'd rather put pins in my eyes, swear.
Now what does he want?
DELK: Chief Johnson.
Chief Johnson, I'd like to commend you on a job well done.
[SCOFFS]
Could be that I've...
I've overreacted a bit.
Our present situation being that It might not...
Might not...
