AND...HALT!

AIM...

READY...

[REBEL YELL]

FIRE!

GO ON, PRIVATE.

STOP LOLLYGAGGIN'. LET'S GET THAT CANNON RELOADED.

YES, SIR, BRANDER, GENERAL, SIR!

YOU HAVIN' FUN, CHIEF?

AW, BRANDER, I GOTTA TELL YOU,

THIS IS THE BEST FUN I'VE EVER HAD.

I MEAN, IT'S REALLY A LOT OF FUN.

HUH? CHIEF.

CHIEF.

OH, YEAH, SURE, BRANDER. SURE.

READY... [GUNFIRE]

FIRE!

CHARGE!

[CHEERING]

LET'S GO!

GOOD JOB, CAPTAIN.

COME HERE. COME ON, PICK UP YOUR KEPI,

DUST YOURSELF OFF. IT'S PARTY TIME.

WHOA.

MEDIC!

MEDIC!

I'M GET GETTING A PULSE, SIR.

HE'S DEAD.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY CBS PRODUCTIONS AND CBS, INC.

[WOMAN CRYING]

MA'AM, I'M SORRY. YOU CAN'T--

THAT'S MY HUSBAND! THAT'S MY HUSBAND LYING THERE!

[SOBBING]

CHIEF.

YEAH.

SIR, THIS IS ROBERT HOPKINS

FROM COMPANY E, 4th U.S. COLORED TROOPS.

HE WAS THE SOLDIER ASSIGNED TO SHOOT WILL DAVIES,

THE FLAG BEARER.

CAN I TALK TO YOU, MR. HOPKINS?

OVER HERE IN THE TENT.

MR. HOPKINS, THIS IS YOUR WEAPON,

THIS 1861 MODEL SPRINGFIELD?

NO. I RENTED THAT AND MY UNIFORM

FROM THE STAND OUTSIDE.

OH, IS THAT FROM RAY INNIS?

YES.

DID YOU LOAD THIS YOURSELF?

NO, I DIDN'T.

THEY COME LOADED WITH A BLANK.

UH-HUH.

NANCY.

WOULD YOU RUN THIS THROUGH BALLISTICS, PLEASE?

YES, SIR.

HAVE A SEAT, WILL YOU?

[COUGHS]

DID YOU SHOOT HIM?

I POINTED THE GUN AND PULLED THE TRIGGER.

THAT'S WHAT MY RE-ENACTMENT COMMANDER TOLD ME TO DO.

DID YOU SEE HIM GET HIT?

ALL I SAW WAS SMOKE, THEN HE FELL.

I WAS SURE HE WAS ACTING.

WAS THERE ANYONE ELSE AROUND YOU, YOU KNOW,

IN YOUR PROXIMITY, THAT COULD HAVE SHOT HIM?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S KIND OF CRAZY OUT THERE, YOU KNOW?

GUNS FIRING ALL AROUND ME,

GUYS FIRING THEIR GUNS BECAUSE THEY CAN.

IT'S ALL PART OF THE FUN.

DID YOU KNOW HIM?

THE VICTIM?

MR. DAVIES WAS ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS.

I MET HIM WHEN I SIGNED UP.

UH-HUH.

YEAH. CHIEF.

HERE'S, UH, SOME OF THE AMMO WE FOUND.

AT LEAST I THINK IT'S AMMO.

YEAH, THAT'S A CYLINDROCONOIDAL MINIE BALL.

UH, U.S. ADOPTED IT IN 1855

TO BETTER IMPROVE ACCURACY.

WHERE'D YOU FIND IT, TEMPLE?

IN A TREE,

ABOUT 10 YARDS AWAY FROM THE VIC.

IT WENT RIGHT THROUGH HIM, DIDN'T IT?

SHOT AT CLOSE RANGE.

BRANDER, THESE ARE ACCURATE UP TO, WHAT, 50 YARDS?

YES, SIR, APPROXIMATELY.

ALL RIGHT, TEMPLE, WOULD YOU RUN A BALLISTICS TEST

ON EVERY MUSKET WITHIN THAT PERIMETER?

Hopkins: LOOK, UH...

I WAS JUST FOLLOWING MY ASSIGNMENT.

THAT'S ALL.

I CAME HERE

TO REPRESENT THE BLACK INFANTRY...

NOT DISGRACE IT.

DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO'D WANT TO KILL YOUR HUSBAND?

WE USED TO GET A LOT OF PHONE CALLS

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

YOU WERE BEING HARASSED?

MM-HMM.

IT WENT ON FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 MONTHS.

WE'D ANSWER THE PHONE, THEY'D HANG UP.

AND YOU THINK IT WAS ROBERT HOPKINS?

WILL THOUGHT SO.

HOPKINS FILED AN ANTI-DISCRIMINATION SUIT

AGAINST THE FORT STEVENS RE-ENACTMENT COMPANY.

HE WANTED TO JOIN THE RE-ENACTMENTS

AS A MEMBER OF THE BLACK INFANTRY.

YOUR HUSBAND WAS NAMED AS A DEFENDANT?

YEAH.

WE COULDN'T AFFORD A LAWYER, SO...

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

WILL EVENTUALLY CAVED

AND HOPKINS WAS ALLOWED TO JOIN THE RE-ENACTMENTS.

MRS. DAVIES, WHY WOULD YOUR HUSBAND

HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO MR. HOPKINS TAKING PART?

I GUESS HE DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

[ENGINE STARTS]

HAH. GOTCHA.

SWEET, HUH?

SEE, THE DOORS ARE REINFORCED,

AND THE WINDOWS ARE MADE OF BALLISTIC GLASS,

WHICH MEANS THE PERP GETS STUCK INSIDE

UNTIL WE SAY...

"OPEN SESAME."

MY PLEASURE. THANK YOU, DETECTIVE.

[TAPS ON CAR]

THIS IS WHAT 150,000 GETS YOU THESE DAYS, HUH?

JACK, WE NEED A BAIT CAR. THE NUMBER OF CAR THEFTS IN THIS CITY--

OH, I READ THE NUMBERS, SHERRY.

WELL, THEY'RE NOT JUST HIGH, JACK.

WE'RE THE AUTO THEFT CAPITAL--NO PUN INTENDED.

IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS ALONE AUTO THEFTS HAVE GONE UP 10%.

WELL, CHECK WITH YOUR CIs.

SEE IF THERE'S A NEW PLAYER IN TOWN

OR AN OLD ONE BACK IN BUSINESS AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, JACK, GET IN.

OK.

THERE'S 4 HIDDEN CAMERAS,

AND THEY'RE HOOKED UP TO A LIVE FEED.

DOES IT COME WITH CUP HOLDERS?

AH, CHIEF, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING.

THIS BABY'S GOT IT ALL.

NOW ALL WE GOTTA DO IS PLANT THE BAIT

AND WAIT FOR THE FISH TO BITE.

YOU KNOW, HE NEVER TALKED LIKE THAT BEFORE YOU GOT HERE.

OH--

HE'S EXCITED.

THIS BAD GIRL'S GOT IT ALL?

GOD.

SO WHO'S THAT LOOK LIKE?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE RIGHT FACE?

THE GUY ON THE FAR LEFT.

THIS GUY RIGHT HERE?

HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU, DOESN'T HE?

NO.

OH, DEPUTY CHIEF, LOOK AT THOSE DEEP-SET EYES,

THAT JAW LINE CHISELED FROM GRANITE,

THAT EGG-SHAPED HEAD... SORRY, SIR.

WE MATCHED THE MINIE BALL TO THE RIFLE USED BY HOPKINS.

Nancy: 165 DEALERS STILL CARRY THIS PERIOD AMMO.

MOST OF THEM ARE REENACTMENT OUTFITTERS.

YEAH, BUT NOBODY WAS ISSUED ANYTHING LIVE OTHER THAN GUNPOWDER,

SO IF HOPKINS SHOOTS DAVIES,

HE'S GOT TO BRING THE BULLET HIMSELF.

Nancy: WE CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT.

WILL DAVIES REFUSED TO ALLOW THE BLACK INFANTRY TO PARTICIPATE

UNTIL HOPKINS SUED.

WE'RE CHECKING THE COURT FOR PAPERS NOW.

WE ALSO SPOKE TO THE REENACTMENT COMMANDER.

HE SAID THAT HOPKINS ASKED TO BE THE ONE

TO FIRE THE SHOT AT THE FLAG BEARER.

Mannion: DID HE?

SO IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE

THAT HE WAS ASSIGNED TO SHOOT DAVIES?

NO, SIR.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN SET UP.

Brander: YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR A GUY SHOWED UP

WITH CHAINS AROUND HIS WRISTS AND HIS ANKLES.

SAID HE WAS PROTESTING ON BEHALF OF THE SLAVES TURNED SOLDIERS.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HOPKINS.

SIR, DOES THAT LOOK LIKE THE DEPUTY CHIEF TO YOU?

Mannion: LOOK AT THAT.

SAME EYES, SAME EGG-SHAPED HEAD.

MY GOSH.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS PICTURE?

WE FOUND IT ON MR. HOPKINS, AND I MADE A COPY.

JOE, DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ONCE YOUR GRANDMOTHER TOLD YOU

YOU HAD FAMILY THAT SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR?

THERE YOU GO.

SEE? AREN'T YOU EVEN CURIOUS?

THAT GUY COULD BE RELATED.

I CAN SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.

OH, HE'S RELATED.

ALL RIGHT, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS,

AND IT'S NOT EGG-SHAPED HEAD.

IT'S--IT'S MELON-SHAPED.

MELON.

SO HOPKINS AND DAVIES HAVE GOT A BEEF.

WE HAVE A GUY, REPRESENTING THE CONFEDERATES,

WHO REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONTRIBUTIONS

OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

I'D SAY THOSE TWO WOULD BE ENEMIES.

IS THAT A REASON TO KILL HIM?

LET'S ASK HIM.

Hopkins: I DID NOT KILL WILL DAVIES.

MM-HMM.

YOU FILED A DISCRIMINATION SUIT AGAINST HIM, DIDN'T YOU?

YOU MADE NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO HIS HOUSE,

TO HIS PLACE OF WORK.

HIS WIFE SAYS THAT YOU HARASSED HIM FOR HALF A YEAR,

AND THEN YOU SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED TO SHOOT HIM.

CHIEF MANNION, FORT STEVENS WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BATTLE

THAT TOOK PLACE IN D.C.

I WANTED THE BLACK INFANTRY TO BE REPRESENTED THERE.

NOW, IF THAT MAKES ME GUILTY OF SOMETHING, FINE.

BUT I DID NOT KILL THE MAN.

UH-HUH.

YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, YOU HAD THE MOTIVE,

YOU HAD THE WEAPON.

DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TAKING A LIE DETECTOR TEST?

NO.

NOT AT ALL.

HMM, HE HAS YOUR EYES.

THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK.

YOU TWO RELATED?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

DON'T KNOW HIS NAME, AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

HMM. LET ME SEE.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE BUTTONS ON HIS GUARD JACKET.

THE EAGLE SURMOUNTED BY THE SHIELD AND THE RAISED "I."

THAT'S INFANTRY-- THE 54th, "K" COMPANY.

MEANS HE PROBABLY SIGNED UP AROUND BOSTON.

MS. CAVANAUGH, I AM VERY IMPRESSED.

MY FATHER WAS A CIVIL WAR BUFF.

EVERY SUMMER, WE'D HIT THE ROAD AND VISIT BATTLEFIELDS.

LOOK, YOU EVER WANT TO GET OUT OF THE LAWYER RACKET,

I GOT A JOB FOR YOU AS A DETECTIVE.

THANKS. I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND.

MS. CAVANAUGH?

WE'RE READY.

THANK YOU, COUNSELOR. CHIEF.

Polygraph examiner: DO YOU THINK MR. DAVIES WAS A RACIST?

Hopkins: YES...

I BELIEVE MR. DAVIES WAS A RACIST,

BUT NO WAY DID THAT INFLUENCE MY DECISION

TO REQUEST TO SHOOT THE FLAG BEARER.

I HAD NO REASON TO KILL MR. DAVIES.

[DOOR OPENS]

I'M SORRY.

I REALIZE THAT YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.

UH, MAY I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A MOMENT?

CARRY ON.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?

I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO GET A BURGER AFTER WORK.

I DON'T GET IT.

THE SCORE IS TIED,

KICKER COME IN TO KICK A FIELD GOAL.

HE'S ALL WARMED UP, HE LINES UP THE KICK,

HE CAN PRACTICALLY TASTE THE CHAMPAGNE.

THEN THE OTHER COACH CALLS A TIME-OUT,

COMPLETELY THROWS HIM OFF.

HE'S NO LONGER IN CHARGE.

SO, IF HOPKINS WAS MENTALLY PREPARED,

HE'S RATTLED NOW.

ALL RIGHT, SO THE CONFEDERATES ADVANCE OVER THIS HILL.

AND THE BLACK INFANTRY IS ADVANCING FROM HERE.

NOW, WHERE'S DAVIES?

UH, DAVIES, THE FLAG BEARER, IS RIGHT HERE.

MM-HMM.

RIGHT HERE?

RIGHT. OK.

THE CONFEDERATES KEEP ADVANCING, ISOLATING DAVIES, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

NOW, THE CORONER SAID THE TRAJECTORY WAS DEAD ON,

NO MORE THAN 20 FEET AWAY,

AND THERE WERE 5 OTHER SOLDIERS IN THE VICINITY.

RIGHT, AND THEY WERE ALL GIVEN ASSIGNMENTS.

THEY WERE TO SPLIT UP.

RIGHT.

AND IN DOING THAT, THEY ISOLATE HOPKINS ON DAVIES.

YEAH. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE AT CLOSE RANGE.

Nancy: CHIEF?

HOPKINS PASSED.

ACCORDING TO THE POLYGRAPH, HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

WE RAN HIS RECORD.

HE'S BEEN ARRESTED TWICE FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT DURING DEMONSTRATIONS.

ONCE ON THE MALL, ONCE ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS,

BOTH FOR RESISTING ARREST.

SO WHILE HE'S NOT A MAJOR VIOLATOR,

HE'S NOT A SAINT EITHER.

HE WORKS AT THE SMITHSONIAN.

HE'S A TOUR GUIDE.

HE ALSO EDITS HISTORY TEXT BOOKS.

OK, SO HE'S A NERD.

IT DOESN'T MAKE HIM A KILLER.

WHAT'S YOUR GUT TELL YOU TEMPLE?

HE'S INNOCENT...

OR HE'S A WORLD-CLASS LIAR.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH HERE TO TAKE TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY.

Mannion: WHAT DO WE DO UNTIL THEN?

WE STILL WORK ON IT.

MM-HMM.

TELL YOU WHAT.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO INNIS,

THE MAN THAT RENTED HOPKINS HIS WEAPON?

WE'RE ON IT.

RIGHT.

I'M DETECTIVE PAGE, THIS IS DETECTIVE PARRAS.

WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU.

OK.

MAY WE COME IN?

WIPE YOUR FEET.

Innis: I REMEMBER THAT FELLA.

NEVER DONE ANY REENACTING BEFORE.

DID HE SEEM SUSPICIOUS IN ANY WAY?

THEY ALL SEEM SUSPICIOUS.

EXCUSE ME?

I MEAN THOSE FOLKS WITH SOMETHIN' TO PROVE.

THEY ALL SEEM DISTRUSTFUL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE HAD TO PROVE?

WILL DAVIES WAS A FRIEND OF MINE.

THAT UPPITY HOPKINS FELLA HAD IT IN FOR HIM.

MAN HAD DIARRHEA OF THE MOUTH

WHEN IT CAME TO HIS BELIEFS.

SO YOU THINK HE KILLED DAVIES?

HELL, YEAH.

LOOK, HE FILED SUIT AGAINST US FOR NOT LETTING HIM JOIN THE REENACTMENT.

HE HATED MY PARTNERS.

HELL, I BET HE'D EVEN TAKE A SHOT AT ME

IF HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY.

DID YOU GET THE IMPRESSION

THAT HE KNEW HOW TO HANDLE THE WEAPON?

NOPE. THE FELLA JUST PAID FOR HIS RENTAL AND WENT ON HIS WAY.

DIDN'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS.

I FIGURED HE'D HANDLED THEM BEFORE.

MAYBE YOU JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE TAKING THE TIME

TO SHOW HIM HOW TO USE IT.

I'M NOT THERE TO TEACH, DETECTIVE.

Nancy: DO YOU THINK MR. HOPKINS HAD TIME TO RELOAD THE WEAPON

WITH LIVE AMMUNITION BEFORE THE ACTUAL BATTLE BEGAN?

OH, YEAH.

LOOK, I WAS THERE AN HOUR BEFORE SIGN-IN AND REGISTRATION.

HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THROUGH THE BOOTH.

LOOK, HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME, HE HAD PLENTY OF REASON.

NOW, IF YOU'RE THROUGH,

I WAS TAKIN' A NAP.

CHARMING FELLOW.

[RACIST SONG HEART TO MY NATION PLAYING LOUDLY]

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

Noland: ENTER.

HEY, CHIEF.

WE'RE ROLLING ON THE BAIT CAR TONIGHT, 8 D.

WHO'S YOUR SECOND?

DETECTIVE REGAN.

CHIEF OF DETECTIVES GONNA SIT SURVEILLANCE WITH YOU?

SHE WANTS TO GET HER HANDS DIRTY.

WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?

GOOD FOR HER. LITTLE FIELD WORK HELPS KEEP THE RUST OFF.

SHE'S A TOUGH COOKIE.

WATCH YOURSELF.

IS THAT YOU?

NO.

YEAH, IT IS.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE OLD-TIME PHOTOGRAPHS

YOU GET TAKEN AT, LIKE, AN AMUSEMENT PARK, RIGHT?

THAT'S A CIVIL WAR PHOTOGRAPH.

SOME FOLKS AROUND HERE THINK THIS GUY

MIGHT BE SOME KIN TO ME.

REALLY?

CENSUS BUREAU.

THEY'LL KNOW.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT, DETECTIVE.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.

THE GUY'S GOT FAMILY SOMEWHERE

DOESN'T KNOW HE'S A HERO.

JUST A THOUGHT.

HMM.

Sherry: FRENCH FRY?

Debreno: NO, THANKS. I'M GOOD.

I KNOW. THEY'RE DISGUSTING.

I CAN'T HELP IT. IT'S MY WEAKNESS.

WELL, FOR ME, IT'S PIE AND ICE CREAM.

RHUBARB.

MMM! APPLE.

MM. FOR THE CHIEF, IT'S CHILI DOGS.

REALLY?

MESSY.

YOU TWO WORKED TOGETHER FOR A WHILE.

OH, YOU'RE BRAVE.

UH, LOOK, I'M NOT TRYING TO GET PERSONAL.

IT WAS JUST TYPICAL DETECTIVE-ON-A-STAKEOUT CHIT-CHAT, THAT'S ALL.

YOU'RE NOT BUYING THAT, ARE YOU?

NO.

DIDN'T THINK SO.

SO WHY DID YOU GUYS SPLIT?

[DEBRENO LAUGHS]

UH-UH-OH-OH. WE'RE IN PLAY.

Sherry, quietly: YES! YES, YES, YES, YES.

HOLY--HOT DAMN, WE GOT ONE.

DOES THAT FACE REGISTER ANYWHERE ON YOUR RADAR?

NO. HOW ABOUT YOU?

UH-UH.

ALL RIGHT, SEE THAT?

HE'S TRYING TO BYPASS THE ALARM.

BAD BOY. UH-HUH.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

UM... OH, NO.

THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

WHERE'S THE REMOTE?

Sherry: THE DOORS AREN'T OPENING.

TRY IT AGAIN. NO, NO, NO, NO!

LET'S GO!

QUICK! DRIVE!

DRIVE!

[ENGINE STARTS]

Sherry: AMBULANCE...

TO POSITION ONE.

SURVEILLANCE POSITION ONE.

I REPEAT, AN AMBULANCE.

GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

COME ON, BUDDY.

IS HE ALIVE?

HE'S BREATHING.

[COUGHING]

IS THAT AMBULANCE COMING?

YEAH.

OHH!

[COUGHING]

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

YOU SURE? YEAH.

HOW YOU DOING?

FINE. [COUGHS]

FINE? HE'S HAD SMOKE INHALATION.

THEY WANT HIM TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

I'M GONNA WANNA SEE THE SURVEILLANCE TAPES.

WE CAN INTERROGATE THE SUSPECT FROM HERE.

HE'S NOT GONNA BE TALKING FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS.

HIS DOCTOR SAYS HE'S GOT SEVERE RESPIRATORY INJURY.

APPARENTLY THE FIRE MELTED SOME PLASTIC,

AND IT GAVE OFF CYANIDE.

HOW LONG WAS HE TRAPPED IN THE CAR?

A MINUTE.

VEHICLE LOCKED DOWN MIDWAY THROUGH THE BOOST,

JUST LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO.

NEXT THING WE KNOW, THERE'S SMOKE EVERYWHERE--

SHUT UP. STOP TALKING.

CSU'S STILL TAKING THE CAR APART.

THE PRELIM TURNED UP A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

DETROIT'S ELECTRICAL OR OUR MODIFICATION?

DON'T KNOW YET.

BUT WE BOTH KNOW THAT WON'T MATTER.

WHEN THEY START ASSIGNING BLAME, THEY'LL BE LOOKING RIGHT AT US.

I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO BE OBJECTIVE.

CAVANAUGH, I WASN'T GONNA SAY ANYTHING, BUT I AM GONNA SAY SOMETHING,

AND I'M GONNA SAY IT RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS A NEW LOW FOR YOU.

YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT.

WE HAVE YOUR CLIENT ON TAPE

BREAKING INTO THE VEHICLE.

I'M NOT DISPUTING HECTOR VEGA'S CAREER CHOICE.

BUT FACE IT, JACK, YOUR PEOPLE MESSED UP

USING EQUIPMENT THAT WASN'T PROPERLY TESTED.

HIS INJURIES ARE A RESULT

OF HIM BREAKING INTO THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

YOU'RE SAYING IT WAS CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE,

THAT MY CLIENT IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE?

YEAH!

IT WON'T HOLD UP.

YOUR DETECTIVE DELIBERATELY TARGETED MR. VEGA

USING A TRAP LIKE HE WAS AN ANIMAL.

CAVANAUGH...

THIS IS NOT A BATTLE THAT YOU CAN WIN.

YOU KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT.

I'LL BE IN CONTACT REGARDING DEPOSITIONS. YEAH!

STILL LOOKING BAD FOR HOPKINS.

IT IS CONFIRMED HE HAD TIME TO RELOAD THE MUSKET.

WE LOOKED AT EVERY CONFISCATED PICTURE TAKEN DURING THE BATTLE,

EVERY VIDEOTAPE.

THERE'S STILL NOTHING TO INDICATE

THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SECOND SHOOTER.

SO THE TOUR GUIDE'S OUR MAN?

THIS GUY'S GOT NOTHING IN HIS PROFILE

THAT MAKES ME THINK HE'S CAPABLE OF MURDER.

ALL RIGHT. GET ME HOPKINS.

GET ME THE WEAPON. MEET ME UP ON THE RANGE.

THANKS FOR COMING, MR. HOPKINS. APPRECIATE IT.

NOW...WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

WELL, WE WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE A BALLISTIC TEST

ON THE WEAPON YOU FIRED,

MEASURE ITS RECOIL, AND I'D APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

I THINK I SHOULD HAVE MY LAWYER PRESENT.

ABSOLUTELY. YOU WANNA CALL HIM, GO RIGHT AHEAD.

THERE'S A PHONE RIGHT DOWN THE HALL.

EVERY CRIMINAL HAS HIS RIGHTS.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, JUST LOAD THE WEAPON.

I'VE ONLY DONE IT A FEW TIMES. I'M NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH IT.

WELL, GIVE IT A TRY. HUMOR US.

NOW WHAT?

WELL, HERE. YOU FORGOT A CAP.

LET ME TAKE THE WEAPON. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, PUT THESE ON.

TAKE THE WEAPON. HOLD IT FOR A SECOND.

ALL RIGHT.

WOULD YOU FIRE IT, PLEASE?

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO FIRE IT.

YOU CAN GO.

WELL, HE OVERLOADED IT WITH POWDER.

IF HE FIRED IT, THE BARREL BLOWS UP IN HIS FACE.

FORGOT THE CAP.

THEN HE COULDN'T HAVE LOADED THE WEAPON ON THE DAY.

I'M AFRAID DECENNIAL CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING ON INDIVIDUALS

DOES NOT BECOME AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL AFTER 72 YEARS.

WELL, THE MAN I'M TRYING TO FIND WAS BORN OVER 150 YEARS AGO.

HE LOOKS LIKE YOU.

THAT'S THE GENERAL CONSENSUS.

YOU BOTH GOT THE SAME, UH...

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

I'M SORRY, BUT WE HAVE VERY LITTLE IN OUR RECORDS.

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION DURING THE CIVIL WAR

WAS NEVER PROPERLY DOCUMENTED.

AT THE TIME, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

CONSIDERED SLAVES 3/5ths OF A PERSON FOR CENSUS PURPOSES.

OF COURSE, WE WEREN'T LEGALLY CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES THEN.

WE WERE CONSIDERED TO BE PROPERTY.

TRY NARA.

NARA?

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION.

ARCHIVES AND RECORDS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MM-HMM.

THANK YOU.

THERE YOU GO.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR.

YOU'RE THAT COP.

HEY, I SUCKED DOWN THE SAME SMOKE AND CHEMICALS YOU DID.

HOW OLD ARE YOU, HECTOR?

18.

YOU PRACTICALLY JUST GOT YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.

YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE A KID WHO STEALS CARS TO ME.

YOU KNOW, ON THE VIDEO THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE,

EVEN THOUGH NO ONE WAS AROUND,

YOU SEEMED KIND OF NERVOUS.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THIS LONG, HAVE YOU?

THAT'S NOT WHY YOU CAUGHT ME.

MM. IT'S BECAUSE YOUR TRAP MESSED UP.

NAH, YOUR WIRING WAS BAD.

IT TOOK YOUR BROTHER YEARS TO PERFECT IT.

I DID SOME CHECKING.

YOUR BROTHER EMILIO WAS RELEASED 2 MONTHS AGO.

DID A NICKEL FOR AUTO THEFT.

SO WHAT?

SO I THINK YOU WERE TRYING TO IMPRESS HIM.

PHIL... HOLD ON A SECOND.

WHO'S WILLIAM BURKE?

OH, YOU MEAN BOOTS?

EVERYONE CALLS HIM THAT 'CAUSE HE RUNS A STABLE

AND HE'S ALWAYS KNEE-HIGH DEEP--

I GET IT.

WHAT DO YOU NEED OLD BOOTS FOR?

HE'S A THIRD CO-DEFENDANT

IN THE SUIT HOPKINS FILED.

HOPKINS NEVER GOT IN MY BUSINESS.

I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF HIM TILL THE LAWSUIT.

SO, YOU NEVER MET HIM?

NO MA'AM. I NEVER EVEN SEEN THE FELLA

TILL THE DAY OF THE REENACTMENT.

HE EVER TRY TO CONTACT YOU?

NO, SIR.

FAR AS I KNOW, THAT MAN BELIEVED IN WHAT HE WAS DOING.

IF IT WAS UP TO ME, WITHOUT INNIS AND DAVIES,

I'D HAVE LET HIM PARTICIPATE.

THE BLACK INFANTRY SPILLED BLOOD ON THAT BATTLEFIELD.

THEY HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE REPRESENTED.

WE'RE TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER WHY HOPKINS

WOULD WANT TO MURDER WILL DAVIES.

MAYBE 'CAUSE DAVIES WAS A PIECE OF CRAP REDNECK.

SO, YOU DIDN'T LIKE HIM?

AIN'T NOBODY LIKED HIM. NOT EVEN HIS BUSINESS PARTNERS.

THAT'S WHY THEY SPLIT UP.

WHO'S HIS PARTNER? RAY INNIS.

THEY HAD ONE OF THE BIGGEST

CIVIL WAR MEMORABILIA BUSINESSES

IN THE COUNTRY...

TILL THEY HAD SOME KIND OF DISAGREEMENT

AND SPLIT IT UP.

AND DAVIES TOOK MOST OF THE CLIENTELE,

AND INNIS RESENTED IT, AND I DON'T BLAME HIM.

DAVIES RIPPED HIM OFF. [CHUCKLES]

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IF I WAS YOU,

I'D BE LOOKING IN THAT DIRECTION

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO RAILROAD SOME POOR ACTIVIST.

THANKS.

HEY, BOOTS GIVE YOU ANYTHING?

HE THINKS INNIS KILLED DAVIES.

SAID INNIS AND DAVIES HAD A BEEF.

IT STARTED WHEN THEY SPLIT UP AS BUSINESS PARTNERS.

WE GOT OUR WARRANT.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MY HUSBAND'S NOT HOME.

HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE.

HI. LET ME SPEAK TO RAY.

IT'S IMPORTANT.

[DOOR OPENS]

[SHOTGUN PUMPS]

TURN AROUND. SLOWLY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

YOU KNOW, BOY...

BACK IN THE DAY, IF A NIGGER TRIED TO ROB YOU,

IT WAS FINE JUST TO SHOOT HIS ASS...

GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING YOUR BUSINESS.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

PUT THE GUN DOWN, RAY.

HE'S TRESPASSING. A MAN'S GOT A RIGHT

TO PROTECT HIS PROPERTY.

WE HAVE A WARRANT.

[CHUCKLES]

TAKE ALL THIS TO EVIDENCE,

GET A VOUCHER, THEN TAKE IT RIGHT DOWN TO THE LAB.

[GANGSTA RAP PLAYING ON RADIO]

[SIGHS]

[VOLUME DOWN]

WILL YOU EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME?

I WAS READY TO SLAM MY FIST INTO THE FACE

OF THAT SON OF A BITCH FOR WHAT HE SAID,

AND THEN HERE IT IS ON THE RADIO, AND YOU'RE...

BOBBIN' TO THE BEAT.

[LAUGHS]

WHEN WE USE THE WORD, WE OWN IT.

IT JUST COMES FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE.

OH. WELL...

THAT'S A CONVENIENT EXPLANATION.

SO YOU DECIDE WHEN THE WORD IS OFFENSIVE

AND WHEN IT'S NOT?

WHAT THAT GUY SAYS COMES FROM A PLACE OF IGNORANCE,

SO IT DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON MY RADAR.

THE WORD--

I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

WELL...I'M OFFENDED EITHER WAY.

THE GUNPOWDER MATCHES WHAT WE FOUND ON THE VICTIM.

WE ALSO FOUND SIMILAR MINIE BULLETS.

MM-HMM.

BRANDER, YOU SAID THAT RAY INNIS COULD HAVE KNOWN

THAT HOPKINS WAS ASSIGNED TO SHOOT DAVIES?

YES, SIR. ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS WERE POSTED.

YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THAT?

YES, SIR.

HMM.

SO YOU'RE THINKING THAT INNIS LOADED THE BULLET

AND THEN TOLD HOPKINS HE WAS JUST SHOOTING A BLANK?

MM-HMM.

Nancy: HE USED HOPKINS TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK.

YEAH. BRING HIM IN.

WELCOME TO YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU

IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY.

IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD ONE,

ONE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU BY THE COURT.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THESE RIGHTS

AS THEY'VE BEEN EXPLAINED TO YOU?

WE GOT AN ADDRESS ON A WAREHOUSE

THAT HECTOR'S BROTHER EMILIO'S BEEN FREQUENTING.

YOU KNOW, THIS REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY. I CAN WALK.

IT'S POLICY. ENJOY THE RIDE.

SO, THIS WAREHOUSE. YOU THINK IT'S A CHOP-SHOP?

WELL, WE'RE SENDING SOME UNDERCOVERS TO CHECK IT OUT.

I'M TELLING YOU, EMILIO IS OUR MAN.

HECTOR'S JUST A KID. HE'S THE KIND OF SMALL FISH THAT WE THROW BACK.

BARELY 18 YEARS OLD.

YOU SAVED HIS LIFE.

YOU THINK? KID'S GOING TO JAIL.

WHAT KIND OF SAVE IS THAT?

WELL, WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE A LITTLE TIME IN JAIL WILL GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO THINK,

PUT HIM ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW.

AS LONG AS HIS BROTHER'S AROUND, I DON'T THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE.

IF THE CHOP-SHOP PANS OUT, HIS BROTHER WON'T BE AROUND FOR VERY MUCH LONGER.

DETECTIVES.

MS. CAVANAUGH. MY CLIENT CALLED.

SAID HE HAD A VISITOR LAST NIGHT.

WHAT WAS YOUR INTENTION, DETECTIVE?

COERCION?

LET US DO OUR JOB, OK?

DETECTIVE DEBRENO IS A PATIENT HERE.

HIS PRESENCE IN NO WAY COMPROMISED YOUR CLIENT'S RIGHTS.

YOU QUESTIONED MY CLIENT WITHOUT HIS LAWYER PRESENT.

HE DIDN'T ASK FOR YOU.

I WAS JUST GONNA ASK HIM THAT.

GO RIGHT AHEAD. I WILL.

MS. CAVANAUGH. MS. CAVANAUGH!

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN SUE THE DEPARTMENT OVER THIS?

A MAN WAS NEARLY KILLED.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

THE BAIT CAR PROGRAM IS STILL

IN THE PILOT PHASE WITH THE MPD, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

MM-HMM. WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

MY POINT IS SOMEBODY SCREWED UP HERE.

IT'S EITHER THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPONENTS

THAT MAKE UP THE BAIT CAR,

THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE BAIT CAR, OR IT WAS THE MPD.

HOW DO YOU FIGURE?

PERHAPS YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW PROPER INSTRUCTIONS.

IT'S NOT A TOASTER OVEN.

A THIEF WAS STEALING A CAR. WE RESPONDED, AND WE SAVED HIS LIFE.

LOOK, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE THE MPD's FAULT.

THEN WHY WON'T YOU LET US COMPLETE OUR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION?

IT COULD EASILY BE THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I DO.

I DON'T DO PRODUCT LIABILITY CASES.

DON'T TAKE THIS PERSONALLY, SHERRY.

BUT I SUE POLICE DEPARTMENTS.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I WENT IN. I COULDN'T SLEEP, I GUESS.

NEXT TIME COUNT SHEEP.

YOU EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, YOU'LL BE WRITING PARKING TICKETS.

WHAT? I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE ON THIS ONE.

OH, SHERRY, GOOD.

HI. YEAH, UM...

OH, JACK, NO. NO!

ALL RIGHT, JUST SAY IT.

SAY IT QUICKLY. IT'LL BE LESS PAINFUL.

UH, WE'RE GONNA SUSPEND THE BAIT CAR PROGRAM,

AND I'M GONNA SETTLE.

JACK, WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.

THAT'S OFTEN THE CASE, BUT RARELY THE POINT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THE DEPARTMENT IS UP TO ITS NECK IN ACCUSATIONS.

I DON'T WANNA SEE ONE OF MY BEST DETECTIVES GET THEIR REPUTATION TARNISHED.

I'LL RISK IT. I'LL FIGHT IT.

I'LL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY.

HONEY, HONEY, WE'RE GONNA SETTLE.

WE'RE SETTLING.

WE'RE SETTLING.

CHIEF, YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.

HE WAS MY GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER.

THE MAN IN THE PICTURE, YOU WERE RIGHT.

YOU GOT A NAME?

YEAH, SHOMBAY.

IT'S SWAHILI FOR "HE WHO WALKS LIKE A LION."

GUY TOOK CARE OF SOME HORSES ON A PLANTATION, SOUTH CAROLINA,

1861 HE ESCAPES.

HE SIGNS UP WITH THE FIGHTING 54th,

WORKS HIS WAY UP TO SECOND LIEUTENANT.

SECOND IN COMMAND.

IT'S A FAMILY CURSE.

YEAH. HE WHO WALKS LIKE A LION.

BOY, THAT NAME FITS YOU WELL, JOE.

YEAH. THE NEXT GUY, NEXT TO SHOMBAY, THE MAN STANDING THERE,

DUMISANI. ARRESTED BY THE CONFEDERATES,

SENT BACK TO HIS PLANTATION WHERE HE WAS HUNG.

THE OWNER OF THAT PLANTATION, CONFEDERATE SOLDIER BY THE NAME OF RICHARD DAVIES,

THE GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER OF YOUR VICTIM, WILL DAVIES.

OH, COME ON.

EVEN STRANGER. DUMISANI, DISTANT RELATIONSHIP TO ONE ROBERT HOPKINS.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

BING!

BADDA-BING.

MPD! EVERYONE STOP WHAT THEY'RE DOING!

DON'T MOVE!

I SAID DON'T MOVE!

HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE 'EM.

HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE 'EM

EMILIO VEGA? THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR AUTO THEFT. CUFF 'IM.

YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN A BETTER ROLE MODEL.

[KNOCK ON DOOR] YEAH. COME IN.

HOPKINS USED AN ALIAS TO BUY GUNPOWDER FROM INNIS.

HE HAD IT SENT TO A P.O. BOX.

WHAT ABOUT THE MINIE BALL?

HOPKINS ORDER WAS JUST FOR GUNPOWDER.

CSU FOUND TRACES THAT MATCHED WHAT WE FOUND AT THE SCENE.

BUT WE STILL CAN'T CONNECT HOPKINS TO THE MINIE BALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED?

A FIELD TRIP. COME ON.

THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG IN 1863 LASTED 3 DAYS.

THE COMBINED CASUALTIES OF DEAD, WOUNDED, AND MISSING WAS 51,112.

ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE CONTINUE?

HOW ABOUT A MAN NAMED DUMISANI?

SORRY, SIR, BUT THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS TOUR.

IF YOU'LL ALL PLEASE PUT ON YOUR HEADSETS AND PLAY CHAPTER 2,

THAT SHOULD TAKE YOU TO YOUR NEXT EXHIBIT.

SO THIS WAS LIKE A 140-YEAR-OLD VENDETTA, RIGHT?

YOU GOT THE GUNPOWDER FROM INNIS.

FOR THE LONGEST TIME I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW YOU GOT THE AMMO.

THEN IT HIT ME. I-I'M JUST GETTING SLOW IN MY OLD AGE.

YOU HAD ACCESS TO IT ALL ALONG.

ROBERT HOPKINS, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR THE MURDER OF WILL DAVIES.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY

CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW.

"YES, THE BLACKS ENJOY THEIR FREEDOM,

"AND THEY WON IT DEARLY, TOO.

"FOR THE LIFE BLOOD OF THEIR THOUSANDS..."

"THEIR MUSKETS FLASHED THE DAWNING,

AND THEY FOUGHT THEIR WAY TO LIGHT."

PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR.

HIS FATHER SERVED IN COMPANY F OF THE 54th, MASSACHUSETTS.

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH MY GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER.

THEY DIDN'T THINK BLACKS HAD THE INTELLIGENCE,

THE COURAGE OR THE DISCIPLINE TO BE COMBAT SOLDIERS.

WE DID ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, I MEAN FOR $50 AND FREEDOM,

I'D SAY THAT WAS PRETTY COURAGEOUS.

YEAH.

LET'S GO HOME, JOE.

OK.
