Hey, honey. How you doing?

Hey

Chunky monkey?

I'm the police.

Don't do anything stupid.

Mannion

Nancy

Chief

Where's Joe?

Joe?

I'm fine.

It's the kid's blood, not mine.

He's in pretty bad shape.

All right.

What happened?

The kid was casing the store.

He had a weapon in his back pocket.

I I.D'ed myself. We jockey for the gun.

You saw the gun in the back pocket?

It was in his back pocket? Yeah.

Looked like a.

38 snub nose.

If I didn't pull the trigger, that'd be me.

You're just a kid.

If he dies, I'm gonna tell my wife I took a life tonight.

- Give me a weapon, Joe. - Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go to the hospital and check on it.

Yeah, okay.

I want somebody to go with you Scotty.

Nancy...

Did you find the suspects gun yet?

- No, sir. - No.

Gun.

Alright, keep looking.

And check all the surveillance cameras.

Yes, sir.

Baby. Oh, God.

Look, you should not be down here.

You shouldn't be driving.

Chief Manion sent a car for me.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Oh, God.

Aww baby, I don't want you going through all of this now.

You could have been killed tonight.

There is no way I'm gonna be anywhere but with you.

Gail...

... I shot a boy tonight.

They don't think he's gonna make it.

Hold a gun on me.

My son is lying in there with four bullets in him.

What kind of a lunatic are you?

Joe. I think we should go.

Ma'am.

Your son didn't give me any other choice.

I was defending myself. Your son?

You had a gun, ma'am.

What, the one you planted?

You may think you can get away with this,

but we're coming after you with everything we got.

Joe, let's just go, please.

That is my only child in there.

An honor student.

He's never been in any trouble.

How could you do this to him?

How could you do this?

I'm so sorry.

My husband is a good man.

I can only imagine what you're going through.

No.

You have no idea.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Oh, Joe, come on.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Joe,

I didn't see a gun.

What are you insinuating, Ella?

I made that part up.

I didn't say I didn't have one, Joe.

I just said I didn't see one here.

Well, this doesn't help us.

We don't see enough.

Used to have a saying in Brooklyn.

Gun hits the sidewalk and only bounces once.

You think somebody else picked it up?

It's only that makes sense there's only one other person

in the store. The clerk.

Right.

Okay, dig up what you can on this Robbie Stockwell.

I mean, why does a kid from Chevy Chase's poster boy decide

to rob a convenience store?

Oh, and don't forget, the two of you are due

at the AG's office in an hour.

Yeah.

You still want me to go?

Yeah.

This is the worst nightmare, isn't it?

You do everything you're trained to do to preserve a life, and

something like this happens.

Joe, you and I are both old enough to remember.

There was a time when you asked, what's the story?

And not what happened?

Just one of those times.

What?

You saw the gun.

The kid had a gun.

Not his hand, not a wallet.

He had a gun?

Mm hmm.

All right.

Okay.

Chief, is it possible

- what Joe says happened didn't? - What do you mean?

Well, his wife's about to give birth.

He's under a lot of stress.

He's probably losing sleep.

Maybe.

Maybe he saw something that wasn't there.

Come on. Does that sound like Joe to you?

- Huh? - No.

No. Yes?

Captain Hunter from I.E is here to see you.

Yeah, all right, send him in.

Must be blood in the water.

Ellen.

- Chief. - Captain, how are you?

Good to see you.

You guys are working fast, aren't you?

Rank's no excuse for him to come.

We don't want to give the appearance

of dragging our feet.

Our recommendation is the deputy Chief be suspended

with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Your investigation are ours.

- You find the gun yet? - No.

We will, I think.

Unless it doesn't exist.

Unless your deputy Chief is getting too old to tell

the difference between a gun.

Easy.

I would call Joe Nolan for backup any day of the week.

You, on the other hand, Captain Hunter, are not

on the speed dial.

The take home gun the deputy Chief shot that boy

with was not authorized by the department and unregistered,

as are half the take homes in the department.

Nevertheless, it's a bit irregular, and from a

public relations standpoint, it looks suspicious.

We need to stand together on this, Chief.

Ask the deputy Chief to step down until we

can get this cleaned up.

Yeah.

Sorry.

You said you wanted that crime scene report asap.

All right, come on in.

Nancy Nolan stays until you find Karos.

Captain, it's not going to make you very popular with

the lineup of community leaders who are already

handcuffing themselves to the victim's parents.

Sir.

Chief, I'm on your side.

Don't fight that, officer.

He's right.

Press is going to forget whatever that kid

intended to do in that store and make him the hero?

Not if I can help it.

Detectives, this is Damon Hazencamp,

Robbie Stockwell's roommate.

You representing frat boys now, Frankie?

- Business must be bad. - Or good.

What can we do for you?

You want to talk to your client about Robbie Stockwell?

Yeah, that's why we're here.

Nothing's off limits, right, Frankie?

I'll let you know.

- You're his roommate, right? - Yep.

- Does he own a gun? - Uh, no.

Who are these little boys?

You hang out with any of them own guns?

Not that I've ever seen.

Not in the house, anyway.

Cause that gets you kicked out.

- How about you, sunshine? - You own a gun?

May I remind you that my client is here voluntarily.

Whether or not he owns a gun is irrelevant at this point.

Not if his roommate used it last night.

- Will there be anything else? - Yes, there will be.

Hold on.

Then it looked to me like Robbie liked to play the lottery, huh?

Put all these tickets in his room.

Well, it's a crime now, huh?

Drop the attitude, junior, or I might start looking

into where you were last night.

Have to call daddy in to pick you up.

My client was in the library last night studying

for an english exam. I have witnesses.

Okay, okay, okay, whatever.

What's the deal with these tickets, huh?

We had a pool thing going on.

We'd give Robbie the money, he'd buy us the tickets, and then

we'd split whatever we want.

Detective Page.

Thank you.

Robbie Stockwell just regained consciousness.

Pretty. Gentlemen, thank you.

Gentlemen, have a seat.

Eternal vigilance is the price

of Liberty, Thomas Jefferson.

Thanks to the crime bill's new Panopticon initiative,

eternal vigilance is about to become a reality.

A $40 million network of 10,000 surveillance cameras

will give us 24/7 coverage of all of your cities and

every major tourist attraction.

Mr. Attorney General, may I?

Don't see anything in here about the 30,000 new cops that

your crime bill was supposed to put on the streets.

Our priorities have shifted, Chief Manion cameras

are more cost effective.

They don't get tired, and they don't charge overtime.

Now, we need eyes on the streets.

This network will give that to us.

Well, in my experience, surveillance cameras are only as good

as the brains behind them.

Look, Chief, this isn't a new idea.

Cameras like this were used in New York housing projects,

Tacoma, Washington.

The ring of steel in London.

It shut down terrorism, and it cut crime by about 20%.

Well, that was true initially, sir, but crime's back up.

Yeah, but technology has improved.

These cameras have 360 degrees scanning ability 170 times

optical zoom lensing, and a joint command center

to process all information.

Yeah, right.

Hey, Tommy, remember when New York transit put

the surveillance cameras in Grand Central?

Now, who the hell did they get?

The man, the command center.

Two schlubs who spent their shift

reading the sports section. Now, cops.

Cops sign on to catch crooks, sir.

Not sitting there keisters fiddling with their joysticks.

This administration is determined to

prevent another 911.

Gentlemen, we're not going to get caught with our pants down.

And, sir, I don't want to appear to be unpatriotic because

I oppose surveillance cameras.

We're all for technology here, but not at the expense

of putting feet and brains on the beat.

The purpose of this meeting is to make clear that

this is the future.

Period.

Now, my advice to you is to embrace it.

Lead, follow, or get out of my way, because I won't

be stopped until they are.

Temple Reno.

Chief, the doctor's only given us five minutes, so I figured

you want to be here now.

Joe, why don't you wait on her?

Robbie.

Robbie, I'm Jack Mannion, Chief of police.

I want to ask you some questions.

You had a gun with you last night in the store.

What happened to it?

You dropped it.

Somebody picked it up.

Did you see who picked it up?

Robbie?

Robbie.

Robbie.

- Hello? - Hi.

Hey, where have you been?

I must have left, like, ten messages.

Oh, just trying to get elected mayor.

Oh, yeah?

How's it going?

Well, I gained two points in the polls, and if I wanted

to jump on this Nolan thing, I could probably

- milk it for a couple more. - Yeah, okay.

- Then what? - Then kissing makeup once I'm in.

Patrick. Sam.

Yeah. Anyway, I gotta go.

When can we catch up?

Listen, I'll leave your name at the door.

You can come help me celebrate my new job.

- I wonder if she's gonna win. - She ain't gonna win.

- She might. - I already told you.

She's too good looking, she's too white, and too into you

to ever be the mayor of DC.

So quit dreaming about moving into the mayor's mansion

and let's get to work.

Now, Robbie Stockwell.

Lottery tickets from seven different outlets.

All of them small convenience stores, all of them close

- to major highway. - I'd look good in that mansion.

Three of them have robberies the next day.

Okay, so we get somebody to id stock.

Well, as the robber, we can probably establish a motive

for him being there last night.

But that still doesn't help us with a gun.

Not unless there was an accomplice.

And the accomplice had the gun, right?

And by the way, if she does win, she would dump you long

before she gets into the mayor's mansion.

I don't think so, Junior.

So how come the accomplice didn't show up on

the surveillance tape?

How come they never found the guy in the grassy knoll?

- Now I'm lost. - We'll let her go.

Don't worry about it, Chief.

We are understaffed as it is.

Now we want to take cops off the street so they can

watch crime happen.

These cameras are supposed to be a deterrent, Ellen.

Crime will drop.

Therefore, the man hours get freed up.

- All right? - And you tell me how a camera is

gonna know if a guy is a tourist

or a terrorist, if he's a drug dealer or just

a bad dresser, if he's having an argument

with his wife or an affair with his secretary, huh?

Ella, you and I are starting to think alike.

It's like the FBI surveillance footage

of the 911 hijackers, right?

They had them at the atmosphere, the airport in Maine,

car rental place.

If you don't know what you're looking for,

you're wasting your time.

Hold it. Ferris, punch in on this.

Then again, if you know what you're looking at.

You were a mischievous child, weren't you?

Yep.

This is the guy that robbed me.

You sure?

Sure.

And this is the guy you described as

his accomplice, right?

He wasn't in the store, but I saw them through the window.

They took off together.

Thank you.

It's a composite of the lookout from the three other stores

that were robbed.

If this guy was there that night, I didn't see him.

What about outside before you went in?

In a car, maybe?

No.

Any of these other convenience stores

have surveillance cameras?

Yeah, two of them.

Nothing any more usable than that sketch

in either one of them.

All right, that means we gotta find this guy.

We're going through the frat house directories

and Stockwell's yearbooks.

His parents hired a lawyer.

They're not talking to us, so.

Hi, Chief.

We're working on this.

If we find out, we'll let you know.

Thank you, guys.

- Hi, guys. - Hey.

Ah, it's okay.

I took a cab.

Pretty soon I'm gonna need a moving van, though.

Come on sit down.

Baby, I am so sorry.

I was just on my way home 4 hours ago.

Start to get worried.

You know, honey, if I retired, maybe this whole mess

would go away.

I mean, we're bringing a new life into the world.

Maybe it's time for me to just go home and look after her and you.

This isn't about me,

Joe Nolan, or about this baby.

It's about a man who has given 30 years of his life

to a city that he loves and a job that he honors.

You did nothing wrong.

And you don't need to do anything right

for anybody but you, huh?

Honey, this could get real ugly.

And impressive. Probably will.

Ugly is something I'm familiar with.

Giving up ain't good.

Ok.

No.

Chief.

So what is it that couldn't wait?

Well, thank you for coming, sir.

You know, I was wrong about your cameras.

I mean, it is amazing what you can learn about

a person in just one day.

Ferris.

09:08 a.m.

there you are leaving statesman Memorial Hospital a psychiatric

building, by the way.

You okay, sir?

You seem to shrink.

Unlike some people.

I don't need one.

Now, I've seen your wife.

She's a very beautiful lady.

But then, so is she.

And you see quite a bit of her.

10:14,

10:45.

11:08

that's my best friend's daughter, Chief.

She's in town for the semester.

This is a deliberate misinterpretation

of what you're seeing.

Sure it is.

But these pictures are a hell of a lot more powerful

than words, aren't they?

Give me one good reason why you wouldn't embrace

anything that would help you do your job more effectively.

Tell me to use your words while we're not on the same side.

Because I will not allow terrorists to redefine the way

I am living my life.

I will not give them that power.

Sir, what is going to happen when the lines

between the good guys and the bad guys gets even blurry?

What's going to happen when the people that you count on to

interpret those images you're seeing from the video cameras?

What is going to happen if you lose control of them?

On any given day in New York City,

the average citizen

is videotaped 70 to 75 times a day.

Who's looking at the videos?

How are they trained?

Better yet. Who's training them?

But then we know who you're gonna vote for.

And what you read,

what you watch.

Major point, Chief, sir.

All of it.

All of it.

It's all open to interpretation.

Is that the kind of world you wanna live in?

I want to live in a world that's safe for our children.

So do I.

But not a world, Mr. attorney general, that takes people

and common sense out of the equation.

Hi there.

Hey, Nancy.

Who voted?

Yeah.

Hope my guy wins.

Oops.

Guess that tells you who I voted for.

Where's your little sticker? I haven't yet.

Lunch.

What are you doing?

I keep thinking about what Chief Nolan said.

How it all went down.

Uh huh.

Good. Good.

Let's play it out.

Joe comes in here, right?

Heads for the freezer with the old chunky monkey.

Kid comes in behind him...

right?

And Joe spots him in the glass.

Turns.

His instincts take over.

Something suspicious.

Joe eyes him, maybe, maybe not.

Sees the kid reach for something.

Joe goes for him, grabs him.

Fight starts...

Back in here.

Kid pulls the gun.

Joe grabs you wrestle.

The gun flies away.

Stockwell goes after it.

What's up with it?

What's it a Joe.

Joe shoots the kid.

So what happened to the gun?

Well, the kid falls here.

Could've slid.

What?

Surveillance camera.

Can we get closer?

This technology...

... we can read the labels and the cans.

It's incredible.

There's the gun.

It's right there by his feet.

Damn it.

What happened?

Did he pick it up? I stopped.

Pause right there.

Good.

There's your confidence, Joe.

Ella Farmer.

Yes, Chief it's for you.

Manion.

When?

Fine. Thanks.

Robbie Stockwell died an hour ago.

The Stockwell's lawyer is looking to have

the us attorney file criminal charges against you.

Captain, we've obtained some new evidence that confirms Joe's story that...

Chief, I'm not buying the stall.

The department already

has a problem with public perception here. Don't make it worse.

What public perception problem?

That we handle our older officers with kid gloves.

We give them fact benefits, special treatment.

You think the new mayor isn't going to have something

to say about this?

Well, of course the new mayor's gonna have something

to say about it. That's what mayors do.

They have something to say about everything.

I tell you, Vincent, I am gonna stick with my deputy Chief.

I think you're betting on the wrong pony here, sir.

May I strongly suggest again that you suspend

the deputy Chief with pay until you're able to produce

the so called new evidence.

Do it.

Do it.

I do the same to you.

Come on.

There you go.

Where the hell did the cop in you go, Hunter?

What, did it just disappear?

This isn't about me, sir.

Can we just keep a lid on this, you know, high and tight?

I'll do what I can, Chief, but if I were you, I'd move fast.

Deputy Chief. I'm sorry.

Right.

Chances of finding the phantom accomplice just diminished

with this kid's decision. Death.

Snub nose. 38, right?

Right.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking.

What'd they teach you at the academy?

Somebody puts a gun in your face.

You grab the cylinder.

I grabbed the kid's gun.

My prints have got to be on it.

Chief, I think I found something.

I kept playing around

till I noticed this.

He's got a letter in his pocket

with a return address.

M Sleight, 557 Bryn Mawr.

Thank you, Ella.

Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.

- Are you Mary Slate? - Yeah.

MPD would like to ask you a few questions.

Can you please hang up the phone?

Hey, mom, can I call you back?

Yeah, like five minutes? Okay?

Okay. I gotta go.

Yeah.

Did I do something?

Cause am I in trouble?

You know this guy? Robbie?

Yeah, I knew him. He was, um.

He was Mark's friend.

- Who's Mark? - He's my.

He's my ex boyfriend. They were friends.

- What's his last name? - Mark.

It's Bettis.

It's two t's.

It's like the running back.

He's in trouble, isn't he?

Where can we find him?

Oh, um, that was probably his place.

Got an address?

He lives on H Street in northeast.

You wouldn't have to have a picture of him, would you?

I might have, actually just a sec.

- Okay? - Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Hey.

You guys looking for some wacky taboo?

No problem.

Um, let's see.

I do, um.

I have.

I'm sorry.

You sort of. We didn't.

Yeah, we didn't end on the best of terms, so.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

He doesn't look all that torn up.

That's funny.

How long you been sitting on that?

115 minutes or so.

6040.

Once in warrants on

DC plates, 18927 a.

His name's Mark Bettis.

No wants, no warrants.

But he's a good match for the composite we got from the

clerks and the other robberies.

How do you know Robbie Stockwell?

They're at the summer camp together for ten years.

Then he enrolled at catholic university,

dropped out after semester.

He's been living in and around DC for the last year.

He's got a pretty nice padding.

Set of wheels for a guy with no visible means of income.

The problem is, even if he's got the gun, you'll never get

a warrant to search his place.

Based on this.

I don't know. Maybe.

The court might have a different interpretation.

You picked the information out of his pocket.

That's a violation of his privacy.

Everything that follows would be inadmissible in court.

Yeah, but see what I'm thinking?

Now he's on a public street.

The court might see that as not having an expectation

of privacy. Huh.

The address was on an envelope inside his pocket.

Therefore, it was not in a public place,

even though he was.

You violated his privacy by going into his pocket

to read his mail. I don't care how you did it.

That's how it's gonna come down in court.

Yeah.

You really wanna risk it with Joe Nolan's career at stake?

Well, I do, but I'm getting a feeling we're not

on the same side here.

I'd be very careful.

Chief.

Before you do this...

Be very careful.

I don't want to have to come back here.

- So what do you want to do? - All right.

Bettis picks up the gun. He runs, right?

He's got the gun.

Why don't we go get it?

What if we get the Bettis another way?

Where are you at, Bettis? Wait a second.

We got Stockwell's phone records, right?

His stuff from school.

If we timed the Bettis and Mary slate through school, we

can cover our asses, can't we?

Still doesn't get us to the gun.

Or maybe we convince Bettis to get us to the gun.

- See? - How Chief?

Hey, doc, I need some help out here.

I got a pregnant woman. She's unconscious.

Please check BP on the mother, and let's monitor and feed it.

How many months pregnant, sir? She's nine months, ma'am.

About to go. Anything?

Somebody page doctor Wilson.

Let's get an ultrasound. Sir.

How far apart are her contractions?

Ma'am?

She said there weren't, like contractions.

Consistent pain on her right side.

She's given birth three times.

Has her appendix ever been removed?

No, ma'am.

All right, let's get a white blood count,

prep for a laparotomy, sorry.

I am fine.

- It just was a false alarm. - What do they know?

Maybe I ought to make them run some more tests or something.

Joe, I'm having a baby.

Just had some Braxton Hicks contractions.

They've stopped.

Doctor said everything's gonna be okay.

You know those contractions are brought on by stress.

Don't even go there, honey.

Had nothing to do with you.

No, this whole mess might be getting you.

Maybe it's hurting the baby.

What's bothering me is being pregnant for a million months.

Ugh.

Not being able to see my feet because my stomach looks like

your bald head on a bad day.

You never complain about my big bald head before.

I love your bald head.

I'm just really ready to have this baby.

My body's gearing up.

That's all it was.

Hello?

Hello?

Do I have the right room?

I am looking for an hysterical, over the hill father

to be and a woman far too young to be his wife.

Oh, Jack Manion, you are a sweet man sometimes.

These are for you, Joe. Thank you.

I may have a line on your phantom.

May I?

In his drive to reinvigorate what he calls a stale and tired

city hall, where just under an hour ago, Metropolitan Police

Chief Jack Manion gave reporters a surprising new development

in the officer related shooting involving Deputy Chief Nolan.

What?

Hello?

Hey, are you watching the news? What?

Okay, we'll turn on the news.

All right, Mark.

A second suspect has been identified as 20 year old

Mark Bettis of false church.

Police believe Bettis has evidence in his possession that

would exonerate deputy Chief Nolan, and they're currently

attempting to locate him.

There's our boy.

All units he's on the move.

He's on the move.

What's it doing?

I don't know.

He's gonna dump it.

Go.

MPD!

Get down. Get down.

Guys. He shot Robbie in cold blood.

He would have shot me too. If I.

Shut your mouth.

Here's your story later.

A lot of people want to hear it.

Hey, Bettis.

Deputy Chief Nolan's prints.

We're all over that 38 of yours.

Along with your friend Robbie.

You know what that means, don't you?

You picked up the gun and ran, didn't you?

I was scared.

I was confused.

He killed Robbie.

Then you were gonna kill him, right?

I couldn't.

He was trying to help Robbie and I couldn't.

I wasn't. I'm gonna kill him.

I could. I couldn't even.

I couldn't.

I just did it with a rush.

In the rush, I see your friend's dead.

You're looking at jail time.

Got your rush.

I'm sorry.

Come on let's go.

- Hey. - Hey.

Maybe you heard. I lost.

Yeah, come in.

No, I can't stay.

It's okay.

I stopped by campaign headquarters.

- I was looking for you. - Yeah, they said you came by.

Why don't you come in?

No, that's okay.

Okay.

So, what now?

Move on.

To what?

The next thing.

Love can make you hurt.

Love can make a blind man see .

Hello, Gary.

Out of milk again?

Doesn't your mother ever shop for you?

You even got a mother?

Come on in.

Thank you.

Sir.

Chief.

Surveillance camera saved one of DC's finest today.

I just wanted to make sure you knew that I knew.

Yes, sir.

It's funny how things happen, you know.

That is a long hallway you've got out there.

They tend to be in this building.

Well, I was walking down there about halfway down.

I'm thinking I owe you an apology.

You were right.

Your surveillance cameras probably kept Joe Nolan

from going to prison.

And then a little bit further down the hallway and

remembering something you said that bothered me

sounded like a threat to me.

You said, lead, follow,

or get out of the way.

I will not be stopped.

That scared me.

I will not be stopped.

Chief, it would be a mistake to confuse my enthusiasm

for public safety with fascism.

Right

and it would be a mistake

to underestimate my commitment

to the people of this city to protect them from crooks.

Once again, we want the same thing.

Sure.

Good evening.

Oh, that was a nice one.

I think I can. Yeah?

- Teach you how to do that. - Oh, yeah?

- Really? - Yeah.

Show off.

Well, sometimes they get lucky.

You know, I bet you somewhere there's videotape of my form.

You might want to study it.

Chief. You know, I think I'm past that.

That's a nice one.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
