[SIRENS WAILING]
[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
[SOBBING]
I'm Sharon Raydor. Good evening. I need to know what time this log was started...I
and the name of the first supervisor on the scene.
- That would be me. - Lieutenant Provenza.
And my arrival time is in the log.
And I got here a minute after he did.
Lieutenant Flynn. That would put you here at 9:43 p.m.
Half an hour after the crime was reported.
- Well within the required response time. - That wasn't a criticism, lieutenant.
Just keep your eye on the ball, everyone, and ignore me like you usually do.
Detective Gabriel.
You made the coroner's first call. It doesn't have a time In the log.
Uh, it was around 9:50. I told them to respond.
- Kendall is with the victim now. RAYDOR: Okay.
Excellent job, everyone, of blocking the crime scene from the public.
Very nicely done.
Does anyone wanna tell me .when SID was notified?
TAO: Same time as the coroner.
Arrived at 10:17 p.m.
Currently working on bullet trajectories.
Oh, I usually fill out the log after I've entered my...
The log is supposed to be filled out concurrent with the actions taken.
And while this federal lawsuit Is proceeding...
we must be compliant with regulations. Period.
Sorry.
Detective Sanchez.
Any public safety issues?
Haven't found the weapon yet. Patrol is looking for it.
And our suspect could still be In the immediate area.
Put out a citywide Information broadcast?
Nine forty-five p.m. Nothing's come back yet.
Has anyone notified Deputy Chief Johnson?
- They have. - Oh.
I'm so sorry. Have you been looking for me?
RAYDOR: Chief Johnson, you didn't sign Into the log when you arrived.
I didn't?
Lieutenant, when did I arrive?
From Atlanta or tonight?
Ahem, uh... She came with Gabriel.
I'm so sorry, captain. That is the very last time I'll forget to sign In.
- It's okay. I've got it. - You know what?
Why don't we get as many of your questions answered as we can now.
Okay.
I'm going to assume, as usual, I you are the Incident commander. I
- Do you have an ID on the victim? - Kendall?
Do we have an ID on the victim?
Uh... Driver's license says Mr. Jon Milton Reed.
He's the principal at Polk High.
- It's not far from here. - I assumed, from what his wife told us.
Two gunshot wounds in the chest. Marks on the face are from the airbags.
BRENDA: Thank you, Kendall.
Was that the wife outside? Mrs. Reed?
What time was she notified of her husband's death?
- Actually, she notified us. - Oh? Hm.
[SOBBING]
Mrs. Reed says her husband stayed late at school tonight to meet with parents.
The victim called her when he was on his way home.
Told her hold on for a second he had to deal with someone.
Next thing she heard was gunshots. And her husband screaming.
So Mrs. Reed was the one that called 911?
She gave the officers the exact route her husband took home every night.
- They found him 10 minutes later. - Jo. Ka7.
Please check Mr. and Mrs. Reed's phone records.
Make sure the calls between them happened before she dialed 911.
GABRIEL: You got it, chief, BRENDA: Thank you.
And RACR Division's been notified?
Yes. Yes, they have.
Ah. Chief. SID pulled a round out of the trunk.
Looks like our murder weapon is a 9 mm semiautomatic.
You know a semiautomatic was used by looking at a single bullet?
Well, captain, a revolver has six rounds In it.
Adding up the bullet holes in the car and the two in the victim...
it makes seven. Means the weapon had a clip.
I wasn't asking for a lesson In Elementary Ballistics, lieutenant.
I simply wanted to know if you are assuming a single shooter.
Is that what you're doing?
- Well, urn, yeah. - Jo. Kay.
- The casings? - Haven't had time to look for them yet.
We assume once Mr. Reed was shot, he drove away fast.
We don't know how far our victim traveled...
before he passed out from blood loss, caused him to crash into our pole here.
It's got everything right here.
Oh, according to RACR division, chief...
You told me you had already notified RACR.
We have a special relationship with them.
Sometimes they call back. Go on, lieutenant.
According to RACR, there was another car-Involved shooting two weeks ago.
Driver escaped without injury. Get this.
The gun involved was a 9 mm semiautomatic...
and the car involved was a dark gray BMW 7401L.
- Just like this one. - Mm.
The shooting took place around here?
Two blocks north of here, corner of Boyce and Forbes.
Okay, while we go look for the casings...
- ...hold down the crime scene? - Yes.
And I'll make doubly sure that all of our log entries are properly made.
TAO: Okay. Maybe around here. The driver of the last vehicle said...
the shooter ran out of a driveway and opened fire In this area.
BRENDA: Was there a description of the assailant?
TAO: Uh... Negative.
GABRIEL: Hey, chief.
I found a casing.
BUZZ: Two more over here.
I've got four here, chief.
Before Captain Raydor has a chance to ask about it...
I'll make sure the casings get into NIBIN.
Thank you very much.
Wow, this is interesting.
What?
Information wanted on a shooting at the corner of Boyce and Forbes Avenue.
- Contact the Los Angeles FBI office. - What?
Why is the FBI involved?
FRITZ: Eight shots were fired at a TSA agent...
as he was driving home from work one night two weeks ago.
- That's why we're involved. - Oh, you mean why you were Involved.
Special Agent Howard.
Did you find the casings from the attack on the TSA agent?
- Yes. “Were involved”? - Well, I'm the one with a victim.
And were the casings entered In NIBIN?
Yes, captain. And, by the way, I don't work for your
We should compare casings.
Sanchez entered our casings into NIBIN.
This is not your case. Ours.
Since when does FBI care about principals?
A TSA agent was fired upon.
Driving the same type of car as my victim.
So unless you think that the killer just really hates German cars...
then your TSA agent was mistaken for my principal.
Your principal was mistaken for my agent.
Now you're just being silly.
- Chief, Gabriel is ready. - Thank you, lieutenant.
Well, I'm not leaving.
You can stay as long as you like, it's still my murder.
If you don't go home soon and get some rest...
you're gonna end up with a bad case of the grumpy uglies.
Chief Johnson, Mrs. Reed should be meeting with a grief counselor...
not Detective Gabriel.
We're all grief counselors here.
No better time to interview than when she's feeling vulnerable.
- If she's a suspect, we need to- - She is a person of Interest.
So we don't need to Mirandize her.
Look, this is the second time somebody shot at a silver BMW on that corner.
The killer is running around the streets of L.A. with a semiautomatic.
My first responsibility Is to take him or her off the street.
What is it?
[SIGHS]
Asking questions at every one of your crime scenes for the past two months...
I am feeling less like a captain and more like a hall monitor every day.
I understand the importance of the federal lawsuit we are facing...
but I am not convinced my constant presence in your division is necessary.
And there is something else.
There is something else I've been meaning to tell you.
Excuse me. Chief, we're on.
Oh. Just one second. Just...
I don't need a grief counselor. I wanna know who killed Jon.
The L.A.P.D. is trying to find that out, ma'am.
But this process, this investigation, will be horribly stressful for you.
That's why I'm here, to help you.
Now, I realize talking about what happened...
won't take away the pain that you're feeling now...
but it's my hope that it might help you to process it, okay?
Now, as hard as this may be...
one of the best ways to begin Is to start with a recent conversation.
Like maybe the one you had with your husband this morning, before work.
Any issues, concerns, or regrets...
or maybe something you wish you had said?
I would say, “Please, I want you to quit this new school...
...and go back to the one where we'd been so happy.”
Why didn't I say that to him?
Why?
- So your husband recently changed jobs? - He was always changing jobs.
Straightening out schools.
And this new one...
Polk. I mean, he had had some tough assignments, but Polk was horrible.
His first day, someone keyed our car. Probably a faculty member.
And there were threats too. Lots of threats.
- Did you report these to the L.A.P.D? - Oh, God, Jon wouldn't.
Thought recording everything would keep him safe.
Recording everything?
He made voice memos of his meetings...
with those dangerous students and crazy teachers...
and angry parents with his phone.
The phone that we were talking on when he...
[SOBBING]
GABRIEL: Okay, Mrs. Reed, 1 am very, very sorry...
about your loss.
We're gonna do everything we can.
That's all we're gonna get out of her.
- At least we have a place to start. - I'd like to hear those voice memos.
So would I...
but Mr. Reed's phone is password protected I
Maybe the wife can pull it together I long enough to give us the code. I
I'm so sorry, captain. You were sayin
[SIGHS]
POPE: According to their logs, you have Major Crimes doing everything to the letter.
If I may be frank, sir...
continuing to audit every investigation Chief Johnson undertakes...
is an embarrassment to everyone involved.
It's an insult to her, demeaning to my rank.
Not to mention a waste of money.
We're trying to avoid adding more plaintiffs to this lawsuit against us...
that could end up costing the city, this department $50 million.
So believe me, your efforts here are not a waste of money.
If I may, sir. Captain, you're not just auditing Major Crimes.
You're supposed to be finding the leak In their division.
We have to cut off Goldman's source of inside information.
Since Chief Johnson doesn't seem to be taking this seriously...
I'm counting on you to fix that for us.
I've had a job offer.
Director of Internal Threats and Corporate Security...
at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
- You're quitting? - I'm eligible to collect...
my captain's pension. And I feel like It's time...
to work someplace where people might be glad to see me.
Captain, do not feel that you are unappreciated.
I walk into a room, it goes silent.
Can't say hello to anyone outside Professional Standards Bureau...
without a defensive response.
Between that and my personal life...
I feel that it's time for me... - Captain, you cannot retire right now.
No one else is nearly as familiar with this federal case against us.
And, with all due respect to your Issues...
Major Crimes is run by a deputy chief and lieutenants.
Replacing you with a lower ranking officer, It's not even possible.
I have no one else for this job.
Can't do it anymore. I'm sorry, sir.
[SIGHS]
All right.
When the promotions freeze is over, I will make you a commander.
Wow, that's quite an offer, captain.
Thank you, chief.
But I feel I've had enough.
Will you at least give me a few weeks before you make this decision?
And until your notice is final...
I ask that you treat this issue of a potential leak like the crisis It's become.
OPERATOR [ON RECORDING]: 911, what is your emergency?
JENNA: My husband's been shot. OPERATOR: Stay with me, ma'am.
- Do you know where your husband is? - 1 don't-I think...
I don't think he reached the freeway yet, He would be somewhere on Boyce.
- Get someone there now. - 1 have units responding.
Thank you, Buzz. I've heard enough.
Hard to be on a landline at home while shooting your husband...I
across town.
Doesn't mean she couldn't have hired somebody.
Well, their financials don't show anything goofy.
Not only does she not have the cash, doesn't have the heart.
- It could be a case of mistaken identity. BRENDA: It Is.
The FBI mistakenly identified this as a federal crime.
Chief, we have very good news.
- Mrs. Reed remembered the passcode? TAO: No.
In fact, after a few failed attempts, we were locked out of the phone...
so we can't use it to access any voice memos.
And this is good news how?
The victim synced his phone to his computer at work, sir.
I have all the voice memos right here.
Last two recordings he made before being shot are Interesting.
And here we go.
[PEOPLE SHOUTING]
Please, everyone. Please.
I understand that everyone has their personal concerns.
I promise to explain everything until each one understands...I
what we're doing at this school and who
- Ma'am. - My name is Gina Tompkins...
and my son has played first-string football since his sophomore year.
Now, Coach Carr told me that Dennis has a real scholarship opportunity here.
If you discontinue the team, how are we gonna...?
REED: Hold on, hold on.
Please... Hold on. Hold on.
Let me say this again.
I'm not discontinuing football.
Or any other sport.
I'm only changing the eligibility rules...
so kids who need time in the classroom don't lose it on the fields.
Whoa, whoa, changing eligibility how?
That's a good-That's a good question.
To play football or to participate in any extracurricular activity here at Polk...
students have to maintain a C-grade average.
This isn't my only-Please. Listen to me.
Listen... Wait. Listen to me.
Schools do not remain open based on the ranking of their football teams.
Only score that matters is that standardized test.
If your kids do as badly on that test as they did last year...
there won't be a team, this school will close.
- Wait, wait, wait. REED: Please.
- What does Carr have to say about this? PARENTS: Yeah.
- This isn't a Coach Carr issue. MAN: Come on.
REED: This is...
CARR: Okay, listen.
I don't believe that maintaining a decent GPA...
is out of reach for any student in this school.
Now, it may mean that we have to work a little harder.
- But we're not strangers to that, right? PARENTS: Right.
WOMAN: That's right. Okay.
Thank you, Coach Carr. Ahem.
Now, the issue of scholastic approvals...
- You're the issue here, Reed. MAN 1: That's right.
MAN 2: Class isn't just about books.
My boy needs to learn what it means to win. He needs to feel that.
There's not a lot of winning around here.
- I do understand that, I do. - Turn it off. Thank you.
From having no suspects to having a whole roomful.
Not necessarily. Minutes after this conference...
Principal Reed had another meeting.
REED: Now is not a good time, Rich. CARR: It's never a good time.
- Who's Rich? - Richard Carr. I
The football coach.
Plan to get rid of met isn't going over so well.
You're not being fired. You're being transferred.
To... What did you call it? “A school with fewer problems”?
And by “problems” you mean the children who need me the most.
Kids who are dragging down everyone else who wants to excel.
Kids who don't wanna be here. The very kids you're begging to stay.
Since when was it our job...
to shove these boys and girls out of class?
Since funding became attached to test scores.
You've gotta stop acting like it's 1990.
Listen to me. Okay, listen.
Just listen. I know that you are hyper-focused on the issue of grades.
But if you put the kids on the street In this neighborhood...
they end up in jail. Or worse.
It's not just about dropping out of school.
- It's a possible death sentence. - Imagine the school being shut down.
That's what's gonna happen if I can't get our scores up.
Look, face it.
You don't have the guts to make the hard decisions here.
- And you have to go. - What...?
He, you wanna talk to me about guts?
- You? - You think you're a hero...
because you put it all on the line for a few?
I'm trying to save the school. You're an Impediment.
- You're leaving. - I'll fight to stay.
Take your best shot, Rich.
- Because I promise you, I'll take mine. - What's that supposed to mean?
I'm this close.
I'm this close to phoning the district about what's going on at your house
Excuse me.
You son of a bitch.
Take the transfer and be thankful.
I won these trophies.
And you don't even deserve to look at them.
Now we're all caught up, Coach Carr, wanna explain yourself?
He recorded our conversations. I mean, Is that even legal?
I wouldn't worry about that. I can't arrest Mr. Reed anymore.
He did bring up several points I think we should talk about.
Points. No, he had no points.
Know what it's like to have someone standing over your shoulder...
looking for that one thing that could get you fired?
A little, yes.
CARR: Well, that's what Reed does.
Did. He wanted to get rid of teachers like me.
Teachers like you?
Yeah.
I personally call several students every morning...
...just to get them out of bed. Their parents couldn't care less
And, of course, these kids, they've got troubles.
But putting them on the street won't help.
It will, however, drive up test scores, which Is all that Reed cared about.
So you wanted to stop him?
Yeah. But not by killing him, come on.
- You sounded pretty mad. - Oh, wow, you...
You are a great detective. You could tell that I was mad?
Well, congratulations. Of course I was mad.
I've taught at that school for nearly 30 years.
It's my life's work. And what did I get for It?
FLYNN: Here's your warrant. - Jo. Kay.
We're only going through Carr's house looking for trophies.
Stolen trophies.
L.A.P.D. Search warrant!
Let Buzz document everything before you start tearing up the house.
Okay. Okay, Gabriel, take the right.
Flynn, take that room there on the left.
Tao, Sanchez, you guys check outside the back.
Okay, now, remember, guys.
You could put up a gun any place you could put a trophy...
so if you come across the weapon, It's legal to grab it.
FLYNN: Yes, sir. GABRIEL: Lieutenant, check this out.
Doesn't Coach Carr live alone?
P ROVE NZA: Yeah. Yeah, he does.
GABRIEL: Another bedroom here too.
There's one over here as well. Looks lived-In.
[CLINKING] [MAN LAUGHS]I
Did you guys hear that?
[RAP MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
Yeah. Over here, over here.
[MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]
[OVER SPEAKERS] Every time I laugh 1 feel like 1 am someone
BRIAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa. - What's going on?
Are you guys okay?
Why? What happened? Where's coach?
Coach is fine.
- Is he making you stay? - No one's making us do anything.
- What do you want? - Your parents know where you are?
Got a warrant?
Don't talk to them about anything with coach. Without a lawyer.
We need to call DCFS.
These boys need a physical exam by a doctor. Pronto.
Gabriel, call Taylor.
Tell him to let chief know what we got here.
Flynn, keep your eyes on these kids.
We're gonna go out here and keep looking for what we came here to find.
Trophies. Trophies, lieutenant.
Yes. Fully loaded trophies.
You're never gonna guess what's going on In Coach Carr's house right now.
These kids are not his own, not related to him.
And they're not just hanging at his house, chief.
They're living there.
Each with his own bed.
I can't decide if this guy is a killer, a monster of some kind...
- ...or just overly committed to his job. - Why can't he be all three?
Just saying, one of the ways a ser: Offender manages to avoid detection...
is by being attractive to his victims.
Coach Carr seems to be providing these boys with the necessities of life.
And when a kid thinks his survival depends on someone... Oh-ho.
- Have they found the murder weapon? - Not yet.
I need it.
Okay. Well. They're searching the suspect's home.
Captain Raydor, she has to be careful about how she goes about doing that.
If there's a leak in your division...
There's no leak.
Yeah, yeah. So you keep saying.
I don't wanna put Captain Raydor on the spot.
I know she's protecting my flank.
I need to take this guy to a dark place. I don't wanna go there without a gun.
I get it, chief.
I get it.
Thank you, officer.
This is what I get? Because I've put the kids first?
Above everything else? I put them first...
and Reed put himself first and his career.
- You put the kids first? - Always.
- Did you also put them in your house? - My house?
My detectives found three underage boys living at your house.
Half-naked.
Principal Reed knew about them, didn't he?
That's what he threatened to tell the school district.
All right now, listen.
First, okay, you need to get those detectives out of my house.
- Right now. And then- - I'll tell you what I need to do.
I need to question those boys...
find out if the care you gave them extended to a physical relationship
Listen. You have no right to...
I have every right, sir. Unless you can produce documents...
to show you are the legal guardian of those boys.
- Give me those documents, sir. - This has gone too far.
- When I talk to those parent- - Parents?
You wanna talk to their parents?
- Do you have permission? - Permission?
Are you serious?
No, I don't have permission, okay?
I haven't exactly followed the rules here.
Do you know where these boys were living before they came to stay with me?
One of them was homeless, sleeping In our locker room for two weeks.
One was beaten so badly by his drunk of a stepfather...
I had to take him to the hospital.
So you prey on throwaway kids, is that right?
Okay.
Five years ago, the single mom of one of my students went to jail...
for dealing drugs.
And I did nothing for the boy.
Two days later, he was shot to death.
Murder, unsolved.
And who took responsibility for that?
You?
Put me in front of a jury.
I would love nothing better...
than to publicize what's going on with these children.
Because you know what you're gonna find?
Nothing. This place is clean.
We've searched every room, top to bottom.
- There is no firearm here. - Trophy.
Gentlemen, we are looking for stolen trophies.
Finding a gun would be incidental.
Lieutenant. If you stole a trophy, would you maybe bury It In your backyard?
Someone's planted shrubs.
Maybe they buried a trophy too.
Uh-huh. Captain.
Is it procedure?
Who am I to say what someone would do with a stolen trophy?
But if I were to look for one In a backyard, I'd use a metal detector.
Excuse me.
RAYDOR: I Remember.
Concentrate on stretches of ground large enough to cover a trophy-sized object.
Hey, hey. There's a little something down here...
- ...at the end of this runner. - Too small for a trophy.
Which is what we're looking for.
And if we find something else, then we call It a happy accident.
Ah. So, ahem, apropos of nothing really...
when can Major Crimes start planning your retirement party?
I wanna bring the balloon animals myself.
Who told you I was retiring, lieutenant?
Well, you said it in front of Taylor, didn't you?
[DETECTOR BEEPING]
- We found something. PROVENZA: Really, Buzz?
Heh. We'll make a detective out of you yet.
Give it a go, Julio.
BRENDA: First, you threaten your boss...
who ends up murdered.
Then we find three half-naked underage boys living In your house.
And here is the murder weapon...
...found buried in your backyard. The one used to kill Principal Reed.
So you have the motive, the means, and the opportunity.
Ur. Carr, I would be lying if I said anything...
other than you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you.
You've the right to an attorney.. If you cannot afford an attorney...
one will be provided for you by the state.
Now...
I want you to think really, really hard about everything you've told me.
Does it make you sound innocent?
Because if it doesn't, would you like to start over?
Because I think we both know what's going on here.
Don't we?
As hard as it is to say...
don't we both know what's going on?
I want a lawyer.
Uh... All right, then. Thank you.
Hey. Good morning.
Everything all right?
Yeah.
The boys living with Coach Carr had their physical examinations this morning...
and met with a counselor. There was no sign of abuse, sexual or otherwise.
Well, that's a relief, isn't it?
Yes, yes. Of course.
But now Coach Carr's only motive...
...would seem to be avoiding a job transfer
And he has enough time in to retire with his whole pension If he wanted.
Like Raydor, huh?
Like Raydor how?
Didn't she tell you?
Tell me what?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, apparently...
Raydor thinks she should retire.
She hates checking up on you all the time...
feels she's not wanted, and supposedly has a great job offer.
Ah.
I thought you'd be happy to have her out of your hair.
Yeah. But she hasn't found the leak yet.
- You don't believe there is a leak. - It doesn't mean I'm right.
Amazing.
One thing you were right about, the gun you found In your suspect's backyard...
matches up with the casings in both our cases.
No good reason Coach Carr would want my TSA agent dead.
So as far as the FBI is concerned, this case belongs to you.
- Well, thank you. That's great. - One last question.
Come across anyone in your investigation by the name of Terrence Miller?
No. Why?
Hmm. Because the gun you found in Carr's backyard Is registered In his name.
Do you have any idea where this Terrence Miller might be?
He's in Interview I with Gabriel.
Miller did five years for robbing a liquor store with the same gun...
used to kill Reed.
The gun was never recovered, but he pled guilty.
Served all of his time.
- He's probably a hard-ass. - Whereabouts during the murder?
Working. The guy is a valet for a restaurant downtown.
Supervisor vouches for him.
- Connection to Coach Carr? - Couldn't find any.
He lives completely on the other side of L.A. from Reed and Carr.
Not likely he was gonna run into them at a block party.
We cross-referenced every database, see how else Miller and Reed could've met.
Traffic accidents, crime reports, Facebook. Nothing.
All right, then. We'll just see what he has to say about his gun.
MILLER [OVER MONITOR]: Yeah.
Chief Johnson. I just heard that the three boys...
- ...from Carr's house are still here. - That's correct.
We're required to release them to their parents.
Well, so far we've only been able to find one of the mothers.
Says too busy to come down until tomorrow morning.
You want me to let these boys go?
What if they get lost or hurt or involved In a crime?
Goldman can end up recruiting their parents for that federal lawsuit of his.
Or don't you care about that anymore?
Where are the boys right now?
They're in the break room.
Since we couldn't release them, we might as well feed them.
Let me see if I can get the boys to help us locate their relatives.
Why didn't you tell me she was retiring?
Because I'm talking her out of it.
Say something encouraging, that would be helpful.
Unless you'd like me to replace her with someone worse.
[SIGHS]
GABRIEL: 1 know you hadn't planned on being here this morning.
We appreciate your joining us.
- Helping us solve our problem. - I already told the old guy...
I didn't do nothing. I've been staying out of trouble.
Relax, Flynn. You're much, much younger than you look.
Does this look familiar to you, sir?
I ain't never seen that gun.
I find that hard to believe.
This gun is registered in your name.
And the casings match those left behind at a robbery you pulled.
Man, you guys.
Always jerking people around.
Where you got that gun? I don't know. I don't care.
I done my time for that. You can't play me a double jeopardy.
This is your weapon. Correct?
Ain't seen it since I went to the joint. Ditched it before...
Where did you ditch it?
I was staying with some bitch and her kids.
Before I went to jail.
I hid the gun at her place, man.
GABRIEL: What was her name and where did she live?
- I don't know. - You don't know the name...
- ...of the woman you were living with? - We weren't married.
She was someone I hooked up with for a bit.
A stripper. Had six names she went by.
GABRIEL: She live at six different places too?
Haven't seen her in years. What do you care about where she lived?
- Answer the question. - What?
I said answer the question.
This gun was used in a murder two nights ago.
A man was killed with this weapon.
You will tell me where your ex-girlfriend lived...
what her name is or I'm going to arrest you for murder.
I have an alibi. My boss.
Who do you think the jury Is gonna believe? Your boss or me?
I don't remember where the bitch lived.' I don't remember her name. I swear.
[SIGHS]
She only ever wanted me for a babysitter anyway.
She was using me, man. .You gotta believe me.
Please, I need this job. Like, I can't lose this job
- Please. - All right then.
Come with me. This way.
You're arresting me?
Depends on whether or not you help me. Get up!
This way.
Come on, guys. Let's wander down to the break room now.
Just so we can be sure we've done everything to contact family members...
could each of you write down the names of all your living grandparents.
Hey. Sorry it took me so long to get down here.
Urn...
Good to see you again.
I was supposed to pick you up.
I thought you was in jail.
Lewis.
Could you come with me, please? I need to talk to you.
[GRUNTS]
WOMAN: Ow!
Lewis!
You're in a police station. Running is not gonna do you or Carr a lick of good.
You don't know nothing about coach.
I know a man who argued with him ended up shot to death.
That the weapon was found in your coach's backyard
Enough to put him away.
Is that what you want? Put your coach away for murder?
GABRIEL. He was trying to help you.
Wasn't he, Lewis? I Looking out for you.
Until Principal Reed came along.
He's the guy that ruined everything. Not me.
- I had no choice. - No choice but what?
- Where was I supposed to go? - Where will anyone go...
when Coach Carr is gone?
- Coach won't be gone. - Oh, yes, he will be, Lewis.
I'm arresting him for murdering Principal Reed.
Unless you tell me who else might have done it.
Was it you, Lewis?
You hold onto the gun Miller left at your mother's house...
give it to Coach Carr so he could murder Reed?
No. No.
Coach didn't do it.
I shot the bastard.
- Not sure I believe that. - I just told you I did It.
FLYNN: This murder took planning, kid, - I can plan.
I figured out how Principal Reed went home from school.
- Where to wait. - You almost shot the wrong guy.
Almost don't count, lady.
I didn't give up.
I kept my eye-My eye right there on the ball.
I made sure Mr. Reed knew me real good.
I was always smiling at him. Going up to him, calling him “sir.”
Yeah. Called him “sir” a lot.
So, like, when I walked up to his car at the stop sign, he knew me.
He rolled down the window.
And I let him have it.
[IMITATES GUN FIRING]
Yeah. And now you know what happened.
I ain't sorry about it.
Ain't sorry about none of it.
And you guys can't even do nothing to me.
I'm a minor. I'm only 15.
We'll see if the DA has something to say about your being tried as an adult.
Detective Sanchez, would you see to it Lewis gets to Booking?
I took a hit for my team, you know?
Sometimes you gotta do that even If you get pulled.
That's all I did. Took a hit.
My team.
That's it.
Just right over here.
TAYLOR: You may feel bad about Coach Carr, but you had no choice.
He lawyered up.
He was trying to protect the boys.
Hard to know what else you could've done.
Coach Carr, I just want to say I'm sorry for any misunderstandings...
that might have occurred during this Investigation.
Yeah. It's Lewis you should feel sorry for, not me.
He's a good kid.
Smart. Never had a proper chance and now he never will.
Lots of people lack proper chances, coach.
Lots and lots of people.
And very few of them decide that murder Is the next best thing.
Wow. Heh.
You seem really well informed about the kind of world that my students live In.
Hey, those other kids at my house...
did their parents ever show up?
Or are you gonna be turning those boys over...
to the Department of Children's Services?
Doesn't matter. They'll be on the street again soon enough.
Which means they'll end up Joining Lewis In jail...
or Reed in the morgue.
You think that's right?
Hey, you don't have to answer. I know.
I mean, I'm a criminal, too, aren't I?
Giving abandoned juveniles a place to live...
without the proper paperwork.
Trying to save some of these children we're not leaving behind.
But it turns out that's your job, isn't it?
You and the undertakers.
As good as Coach Carr's intentions are...
his actions were illegal.
Or that the challenges he faced at work...
forced him to look for unorthodox solutions.
For going above and beyond the call of duty, he'll probably lose his job.
Well, maybe it's time for him to move on.
I don't know.
He seemed to be doing Important work.
Even if it wasn't fully appreciated by his boss and fellow teachers.
There's something about that I find admirable.
Me too.
Sharon Raydor.
What an unpleasant surprise.
I'm getting really used to seeing your car...
parked in front of some place I need to be.
I was just warming up Coach Carr for you.
I can't decide which of us has the worse gig. You or me.
Well, that depends, I guess, on what one wants from life.
I gather you want a little more than you have right now.
Am I right?
What's that supposed to mean?
Just I hear you're giving up the badge, moving on.
- Really? - Why not? You've earned your pension.
Retirement doesn't mean an end to work.
You got a great job offer to go along with it.
What could be better?
And where did you hear that?
Uh... A little birdie told me.
No, really, Mr. Goldman. Seriously.
From whom did you hear that I had a job offer and that I was retiring?
Why?
I have no intention of retiring. A new job offer was the last thing on my mind.
The only thing I'm trying to do is prove there really is a leak In the L.A.P.D.
And you are getting your information quicker than some of the officers.
Maybe I'll have to get a warrant to find out who the little birdie Is.
A warrant? Against the attorney who's suing you?
Good luck with that.
