You said Jenkins
was worried, why?

There's only a few situations

where we're supposed to initiate
or continue a high-speed chase.

A narcotics offense
ain't one of them.

I mean, we've got
helicopters up there that could

track a fleeing vehicle without

Y'all petty as shit.
That's what y'all is.

Get off me, man!

Look, you guys know damn

I ain't got nothing

Man, you fucking planted
that shit on me, yo!

You trying to frame my ass!

Hey, how you
gonna do me like that,

knowing I had
nothing to do with it?

Everyone sees you looking at me.
It was nothing!

LEO WISE: Detective Ward,

do you have any knowledge
of the Umar Burley incident

that Wayne Jenkins
was involved in back in 2010?

No, sir. I wasn't
with Wayne then.

PAUL ENZINNA:
Before we go any further,

my client, Mr. Ward,
has something to say.

Go ahead.

I just wanna say I was wrong.

I was involved
in some bad things.

I knew it was wrong at the time
and I know it now.

And I'm sorry for what I did.

Not just 'cause
I got caught, but...

sorry for real.

I just want y'all to know that.

Let's move on.

By the time you got
together with Jenkins in 2015,

he had made sergeant, correct?

Yeah, uh, Sergeant Jenkins
invited me to a new SES squad.

I was hyped
because Jenks was considered

one of the best guys
we had in plainclothes.

ERIKA JENSEN:
Nobody warned you about him?

The only blowback I got
was from this guy I knew

from the Western, Sean Suiter,
who-- who works Homicide now.

Suiter said,

learn what I could from Jenkins,
and get out of the squad.

He said Wayne was involved
in some crazy shit.

Sean said...

they protect Jenkins...

and they leave the guys
who work for him to the wolves.

- WISE: Who's "they"?
- The brass.

I should've listened,
especially when I heard

Jenkins just got off
of being in some jackpot

over some case
of his that went south.

WISE: Elaborate.

All I know, they took him off
the streets for a couple months.

And the complaint came

from the State's
Attorney's Office.

WISE: But you joined
the unit anyway?

MAURICE WARD:
I made a poor decision.

[EXHALES HEAVILY]

When I was making that list,

I might have forgotten
a few things.

There were so many.

[SIGHS]

Pick one.

WARD: Oh, start with this one.

What's BT stand for?

Belvedere Towers.

Okay, when did this happen?

Spring, 2015.

WISE: And who was with you?

WARD: Jenkins and Taylor.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

JENKINS: Yo, we about to get up
in that car trunk.

Yeah,
that's the fucking jackpot.

Check out those two.

- [ENGINE REVVING]
- Come on, let's get some.

WARD: Dealers were always
hanging around the BT.

- It was hot.
- [TIRES SCREECHING]

SUSPECT 1: Shit.

Let me see
your hands, gentlemen.

What's going on, fellas?

Now, look, I am a federal agent.
We are conducting a wiretap.

You are not the targets
of our investigation,

but we did overhear that there
was going to be a drug deal

on this lot.
That's why we're here.

Now, we do detect the smell
of marijuana. For that reason,

we're gonna have to go ahead
and search your vehicle.

Why don't you guys
do me a favor,

go ahead and take a seat
on the curb for me?

- Come on, man.
- Yo, I didn't give you

permission
to search my shit, yo.

- Fuck is you talking about, yo?
- Calm down.

I don't think you're listening,
dumb-dumb,

I don't need a reason.

I don't know who the fuck
you think you talking to.

- You don't know me.
- Tell your boy to calm down.

MARCUS TAYLOR: Cross your legs.
Hands behind your back.

- WARD: And quiet.
- SUSPECT 1: You don't know me.

Y'all ain't got nothing
better to fucking do, yo.

- Yo, this shit is phony as hell, yo.
- This shit is fucked up.

SUSPECT 2: You don't know what
the fuck y'all talking about.

- What is that on your shoe?
- TAYLOR: Quiet, yo.

- What you talking--
- Look down. Don't look up,

okay? Just...

On that wall behind you
there's got a security camera.

Just in case we find something
in the car

and we want
to put it in our car.

Don't wanna get caught
on camera, okay?

So, just pull
the car up a little bit

and lose the camera.
Can you do that?

- Copy.
- My man.

- Fucked up.
- SUSPECT 2: You heard him.

TAYLOR: Excuse me?

SUSPECT 2: Yo, don't tell us
what the fuck we did.

TAYLOR: Keep on talking,
see what happens.

SUSPECT 2: You don't know
nothing 'bout what we do.

Go and get
a donut and coffee.

You-- You--
You hungry right now?
I know you want that donut, yo.

You need your man's help?

Look, he's gonna come up
to me real quick.

WARD: What's up fellas?

SUSPECT 1: You good, my man?

Ain't got nothing
better to do, I hear you.

You know, you need to be worried
about your mother at home.

Yo, don't worry about it, man.

SUSPECT 1: You ain't
from around here, yo.

They just got you on duty, yo.

That's your little...
That's your puppet master

over there.

- For sure, yeah.
- Damn straight.

Okay, gentlemen,
we're gonna cut you loose.

You give their IDs back.

You're gonna get something

Okay? We apologize

if there's a GPS tracker

I think we're good.

That's five stacks for you.

Five for you.
Good shit, gentlemen.

What about the rest?

Come on, man.

Come on, Sarge.

Gonna buy a crash bar.

- A crash bar?
- Crash bar?

Yeah. For the front
of my new departmental.

- Oh, hell no.
- For what? For that piece

- of shit?
- Hey, don't do that,

don't talk shit
about my ride, all right?

Hey, listen to me, listen to me.
You be smart. You understand?

No fucking banks, all right?
Don't pay off

fucking credit card bills.
No shit like that.

You just go
a little bit at a time.

Let it trickle out.
You understand?

- Got it.
- Yeah, you good?

We got you.

Shut the trunk.
Let's get the fuck outta here.

I think we need to go
look at some women.

How 'about we hit up
that Millstream?

TAYLOR: That farm
to table strip joint?

JENKINS: That's the one.

Hey, Maurice?
Man, what the fuck you doing?

While we still got
teeth in our heads!

WARD: But I put my share
of that money back.

Why? [EXHALES]
Why would you do that?

My wife is a BPD officer
and she clean, all right?

But, also, I was scared.

We took a whole lot of money
and pounds of weed.

I-- I didn't know
who we just jacked up,

it could've been DEA,
it could've been informants,

I didn't know.

Look, I know
y'all don't believe me,

but I put that money back.
You can put me on the box

under oath, you'll see.

WISE:
Let me see if I understand this.

You were uncomfortable
with taking...

money, or you were uncomfortable

with taking
that amount of money?

That amount.

When I was
in district plainclothes,

you know, we'd jack up corners

and skim a little bit
off the dealers.

You know, tax 'em a little bit.

But, man,
this was another level.

It was-- It was too much.

WISE: So, why take it
in the first place?

Jenkins was my sergeant.

He told us what to do
and we did it.

Nobody bucked him.
We just did what he said.

You gotta understand,
he'd been working plainclothes

for like ten years
at this point.

And he was a damn legend
for all the drugs and guns

he could put on the table.
He owned them streets.

you-- you must've known
about Wayne Jenkins

his-- his reputation
had to have preceded him.

Yeah, but mostly
because of his arrest numbers.

JUDGE: Describe
your experience, please,

- and tell us your juror number.
- JUROR 1: Four-eighty-six, sir.

Your Honor,
I was beaten by police

as I was put in a jail van.

And what were
you being jailed for?

I attended a BLM rally.

Was there violence
at that rally?

As I said, I was beaten.

- Were you combative, sir?
- I'm a pacifist, Your Honor.

JUDGE: Were the charges
against you upheld?

No, they were
dropped, eventually.

From that experience, you feel

you could not credit
the testimony

of the police officers
in this case?

From that experience,

I wouldn't believe
a Baltimore officer

who'd testify
that his mother loved him.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Is it soup yet?

- Hardly.
- JUDGE: You are dismissed, sir.

We won't have
a full jury and panel
until tomorrow at best.

JUDGE: Thank you
for your service.

- What's taking so long?
- Well, what do you think?

Now, what about
juror number 574?

Stand up, sir.

Will you describe
your experience

for the court, please?

Your Honor, I was arrested
by Baltimore police.

They picked me up
for loitering and disorderly.

Were you loitering, sir?

GREG HINTON: All I was doing was
coming from my sister's house.

Police said
I was there buying drugs,

I wasn't buying drugs.

She just had a baby
and I was just bringing her

some baby stuff, Your Honor.

JUDGE:
Because of that experience,

you are sure you could
not be an impartial judge

of the evidence in this case?

Is the evidence coming
from Baltimore police?

'Cause if that's the case,

I-- I know they ain't gonna have
no problem lying.

DEFENSE ATTORNEY:
Sir, can I ask, was this
your only experience

with a Baltimore police officer

falsifying evidence against you
or someone in your family?

Aside from when I was locked up,
they also beat on my son.

Then said he swung on them
first. That was a lie, too.

Was your son charged
in that incident?

HINTON: For a New York minute.

Once he got down
to Eagle Street,

they-- they dropped
the charges quick,

but he still got stitches
in his head though.

And they wrote the thing
in such a way

that when we tried to complain
to the police department,

they said, "No. He swung first
and needed to get hit."

The court will strike
juror number 574.

You are dismissed, sir.

Please report back
to the juror assembly room,

and thank you
for your service today.

Are there any other jurors
who have had prior experiences

that would cause them

to disregard the testimony
of the police officers?

Stand up, sir.

Describe your experience, please,

and tell us your juror number.

JUROR 2: Four-fifty-two, here.

How's this?

I've been doing a deeper dive
on that list

of officers and detectives

that the circuit court
trial teams

- wouldn't put on the stand.
- NICOLE STEELE: Mm-hmm.

GIBSON: It was
a formal list at one point,

sent as a complaint
to the police department,

but now it's just something

that gets passed around
by trial prosecutors.

But get this,
the list comes with specifics.

Known histories
of false statements

or perjury in open court.

Sworn officers? Known perjuries?

But here's the amazing thing...

they're all supposedly
still on the street,

doing what they do.

Their arrests
just never come to court.

Not if the P.C. or evidence
requires their testimony.

- Wow.
- [DOOR KNOCKING, OPENING]

AHMED JACKSON: What,
nobody ordered for me?

- [DOOR CLOSING]
- All right,

we're gonna leave you

Come on, Ahmed.

I wanna see a man
answer a simple question,

and I want you to watch him try.

[CELL PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE]

JENKINS: Motherfucker clocked
the rearview

for two seconds too long.
Then I seen that shoulder dip.

I'm telling you, there's
an art to this shit, K-Stop.

[OFFICERS LAUGHING]

Boss man, I don't know
what you're laughing at.

Fucking string bean-looking
motherfucker.

Why does your car
smell like that?

OFFICER: What do you got?

Got a little nine
under the, uh, driver's seat,

about 40 vials
of coke in the glovebox.

I can't wait to see what's

- in this motherfucker's trunk.
- [CELL PHONE RINGING]

Give me one second.

- [CELL PHONE RINGING]
- Shit. Give me a sec.

What's going on, baby?

KRISTY JENKINS: We're
at practice and he's saying

- he doesn't want to play.
- [SIGHS]

KRISTY:
He's your son. Talk to him.

- All right, I'm on my way. Yeah.
- KRISTY: Okay.

K-stop. I gotta go, man.

You weren't gonna pop the trunk?

JENKINS: Nah,
you heard what I said.

This, uh, lockup's yours, bud.

- What's the matter?
- JENKINS: It's my kid.

- You go on and take the collar.
- JAMES KOSTOPOLIS: Copy that, Sarge.

[ENGINE REVVING]

- [DOORBELL RINGING]
- What's going on, double trouble?

DONALD STEPP:
Oh, man! [CHUCKLES]

- How you doing, hon?
- RECEPTIONIST: Hey, Wayne.

Shit, man. Look at that uniform.
What are you, Officer Friendly?

- Look at that shit, man.
- JENKINS: Hey, man,

don't get used to it.

I just got that transfer
down to SES.

- Already?
- JENKINS: Yes, sir. Ten months.

Rotated out of plainclothes.

I'm setting a record up
in this bitch.

Most of these humps,
they do a year,

maybe two in patrol
when they make sergeant,

- but hey, not Wayne Jenkins.
- [DONALD LAUGHS]

Don't forget,
taking tomorrow off.

We're gonna go to the casino,
we gonna have some fun, man.

We're gonna eat
some better shit than this

- right here, I'll tell you that.
- Listen, D, I, uh,

I can't roll with you
on that, man.

- The fuck?
- Yeah, my oldest, he, uh...

he's got Peewee football
try-outs, and he's--

he's all spinned out.

He thinks he's not good enough,

might not do
the league this year.

- DONALD: What?
- Yeah, I don't know, some kid,

he rung his bell
the other day, and...

I don't know,
it got him all shook.

I mean, I went right home
to be with him.

I mean, I'm in the middle
of a gun arrest

over on Sinclair Lane,
Kristy calls me,

she says he's spiraling,
you know, he needs me.

So I-- Yeah, I just--
I left my squad right there,

I just hightailed it
home to him, and...

Look, man, he's got
a practice on Saturday

and I gotta go with him,
that's what I'm doing.

Well, you're just
a good dad then.

- [CHUCKLES] Yes, I am.
- Mm-hmm.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- DONALD: All right, well, uh, great!

- [RECEPTIONIST TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
- Listen, um...

Donny, let me
run something by you.

- Hmm?
- JENKINS: I don't know, I was just...

you know...

thinking about that thing
we were talking about.

[INHALES, EXHALES]

[LAUGHS]

You know, if you wanna talk
about it, I'm just saying.

You know, we could. For real.

I ain't bullshitting you,
Donny. I'm...

- I'm the best fucking cop in this department, man.
- Mm-hmm.

Straight up, man,
these motherfuckers,

they cannot touch me.

But I gotta listen
to their bullshit.

Them ragging on me
'cause I ain't got

their kinda fucking cash.
I mean, fuck that, man.

Fuck that.

[DOG BARKING]

Yeah.

I could offload it
for a number upfront.

What, man.
Like, what you thinking?

Well, you know, I'm mostly
into coke, so, uh, 15?

If that's steady, 15 is good.

- Yeah, steady's good.
- Yeah.

And what about if,

you know, if I can get my hands
on some other shit?

Oh, I'd have to pass
that along right now.

But you know, if this works out,

there's gonna be
plenty upfront, all right?

- Shit, man, that's cool too.
- Okay.

This a good time to introduce
the other twin tower,

Derek Hines, he's joined
the prosecution team.

- DEREK HINES: Nice to meet you all.
- Erika, if you would.

Well, we're getting good stuff
on the wiretaps.

And it's becoming increasingly
clear there's a real problem

in the department's
gun trace task force.

Gondo, Rayam, maybe others.

Supervision there is in flux
with their last commander,

Sergeant Thomas Allers,

having signed on
to the DEA task force.

Who's got that unit now?

Wayne Jenkins is taking over,
he's coming over from SES.

He's, um, got a reputation
as a hard charger.

I actually crossed paths
with him about three years ago

when I was
on the Safe Streets team.

uh, somewhat of a cowboy,
but I don't think he's corrupt.

WISE: Erika thought
we might, uh, advise

Jenkins that he's walking
into a buzzsaw

with Gondo and Rayam.

Something wrong, Scott?

No, I--

I don't know Jenkins personally,

but his name
has come up a few times.

Especially on a jailhouse call

that I listened to
about three years ago

between our
two narcotics targets,

Shropshire and Glen Wells.

Not without them coming out
and saying it point-blank...

it felt like they knew
he was dirty.

We have a--
a transcript of this call?

SCOTT KILPATRICK:
Yeah, it's in our files,
and I'll-- I'll get it to you.

Why don't we let it run?

Revisit this in a couple weeks?

Makes sense to me.

Thank you.

Why are these cops
still on the street?

If they can't even testify
in a Baltimore courtroom

for having perjured
themselves already?

Between you and me,
the history of this thing

is tangled up in all
the infighting between

the State's Attorney's office
and the department.

It goes back to Pat Jessamy
and Fred Bealefeld

being angry
as hell at each other

and not listening to anything
that either one had to say.

Explain.

[CLEARS THROAT]
When Fred was commissioner,

he was furious at Jessamy

for dropping cases
and refusing prosecutions,

and Jessamy was critical

of the quality of the case work.
They stopped talking.

And so, any list of officers
who was unwelcome

to testify in circuit court

was seen as just
another shot fired

in that ongoing argument.

So, these cops caught lying
remained on the street?

They did, and here I am.

- JACKSON: He's honest at least.
- STEELE: [SIGHS] To a point.

- JACKSON: Mm?
- He told us what happened

when Bealefeld was commissioner.

But that list was still around
when Batts was commissioner

and it's still around now.

And whether or not
the state's attorney

charges a criminal case,

what's to stop this department
from, right now,

researching all
the false statements

and firing every cop
caught in a lie?

- [ELEVATOR DINGS, OPENING]
- That's a good point.

[DEMETRIC SIMON GROANING]

BEN FRIEMAN: How the fuck
did you run him over?

- SIMON: Fuck!
- JENKINS: Hey, don't fucking freeze up

on me. Cut that engine
and go look at that lawn.

Go find a gun.

- [SIMON GROANING]
- [JENKINS SHUSHING]

Hey, you trying to win
an Academy Award out here, huh?

[DOGS BARKING]

- FRIEMAN: Over here?
- You find anything?

No.

FRIEMAN: How far could he
fucking toss it?

The fuck you run for, dawg?

Let me get you an ambulance.

- 24-50.
- [SIMON GROANING]

- DISPATCHER: [OVER RADIO] 10-4, 24-50.
- Yeah, I need an ambulance

at the corner
of Anntana and Belair Road.

I got a number one male
hit by my vehicle.

Also send AIU.

- DISPATCHER: Sending a 10-38.
- Fuck.

- Copy, ambo on the way.
- You find that gun?

I'm not seeing it.

There's no fucking gun.

All right, quit being a hump

- Son of a bitch.

- KEITH GLADSTONE: I'm eating.
- Hey, fuck your food, okay?

I need a piece.

No, I need it, all right. I'm--
I'm on Anntana Road, off Belair.

And just hurry up. The fucking

- GLADSTONE: Copy, I'm on my way.
- Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

- The fuck you do?
- JENKINS: Yo, dawg.

I'm chasing this motherfucker.

He runs across the street,
he stops,

he points a gun right at me.
I had to hit him with the car.

Where's the gun?
It's around here somewhere, man.

He fucking pointed right at me.

[GROANS]

Let's find this gun. All right.

Fan out, canvass the area,
look for surveillance cameras.

Casey, escort the ambo.

OFFICER 1:
Hey, hey, you check that yard?

FRIEMAN: Nothing over here.

OFFICER 2: Yo, yo,
how about those bushes?

OFFICER 1:
Got to recanvas that side.

OFFICER 3: I got that,
let me take a look.

What exactly did you witness?

I was responding

I was the SIC

BRIAN HAIRSTON: [OVER RADIO]
Found evidence. You might
wanna get back up here.

What kinda evidence
do you have?

- HAIRSTON: A firearm.
- Shit.

- Hey, you got a gun, brother?
- Hey! Here it is!

Just under
the rear of the truck.

All right. All right, hey, hey,

everybody stay the fuck back,
all right?

Let's just-- We're gonna wait
for the crime lab.

- Copy that.
- Yeah.

Good shit.

- Keith, man, you saved my ass.
- Well, I was in the middle

of my goddamn

motherfucker,
down at the Inner Harbor.

- Yeah, well you know I owe you.
- You fucking-A right.

FRIEMAN: Now that--
now that's a good one.

SUITER: Shit is off the hook.

JERRY NATHANS: You know
how many jurors we requested

at the Judge's court today?

A hundred-eighty.

And at the end of the day,
we had seven souls empaneled.

The rest I had to strike
or wait for the Judge to do it.

- Defense strikes?
- NATHANS: Just a few.

Retired cops,
sheriff's deputies,

and one angry mother whose kid
was killed in a street robbery.

Hey, you got
seven actual Baltimoreans

who are willing
to believe police.

NATHANS: Yeah. Well, this is
what it's come to, Sean.

I mean, you guys have locked up
and beat on so many people,

we can't get 12 in a box

who are willing to trust
what a cop says.

Yeah, see you later.

Yeah.

[PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE]

Following up any complaints
that came in on Wayne Jenkins,

and, uh, I think
I might've stumbled

- into a little bit of ugly.
- What do you have?

Video of a car stop

- Jenkins did two years ago.
- And?

JOHN SIERACKI: Uh. He searches
the car, comes up dry,

he then talks to the defendant
for close to 60 minutes...

both on a lot
and in his undercover car.

- Then, uh, the tape ran out.
- [EXHALES]

SIERACKI: But subsequently,
the defendant is charged

with possession
of seven ounces of cocaine

- found in his vehicle.
- [EXHALES HEAVILY, SCOFFS]

SIERACKI: Upon seeing the tape,
which outright contradicted

Jenkins's signed
arrest statement,

the prosecutor
dropped charges...

and notified the department's
Internal Affairs Division.

Let's take a look.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

But it's not on the tape.

Wayne, they're accusing you
of lying

about finding cocaine
in the defendant's car

and the seizure's
not on the tape.

I must've found the drugs
after the camera went off.

Camera goes on, it goes off,
that's what they do.

- Wayne...
- JENKINS: I'll call the prosecutor,

I'll explain everything,
I'll make it right.

Well, it wasn't long
before the prosecutor

got this text message
from Jenkins.

It spooked her.

Jenkins complains that she's
slandering his good name

by calling him a dirty cop.
Then he ends with the following,

"This is not a promise,

nor is it a threat to you
in any way, shape, or form,

this is just hurting me
and my reputation."

WISE: And how did the department

deal with the accusation
that Jenkins lied

and then allegedly
planted drugs?

Internal Affairs recommended
that Jenkins be demoted,

transferred,
and suspended for 20 days.

WISE: Was he?

[WISE SIGHING]

JENSEN: Detective Ward,
early in 2015, Sergeant Jenkins

was nearly suspended
for falsifying arrest reports.

That punishment was reduced
to verbal counseling,

and then they put him
right back on the street.

Wasn't no way they was
gonna throw a shadow on a hero.

I don't follow.

to that disciplinary case?

Freddie Gray happened.

illegally arrested Mr. Gray.

While each of these officers

are presumed innocent
until proven guilty,

we have brought

You believe
this fucking horseshit?

...Officer Goodson
is being charged

with second-degree
depraved-heart murder.

- WARD: Damn. Murder.
- TAYLOR: Murder? That's extreme.

- Are you fucking kidding me?
- MARILYN MOSBY: ...second-degree negligent assault.

- TAYLOR: Bro, fucking murder?
- JENKINS: What the fuck is that?

TAYLOR: No fucking way, yo.
No fucking way.

You phony fucking bitch.

- Bullshit.
- TAYLOR: It's crazy.

She's out here
dishing out fucking charges

to these police officers
for doing their job!

- TAYLOR: That's all they doing.
- That's all they did!

- They did their fucking job.
- TAYLOR: The fuck else we gonna do?

JENKINS: What the fuck
is "second degree
depraved-heart murder"?

Hey, why not charge him
with fucking mopery

- if you're makin' bullshit up?
- [CHUCKLES]

I mean, she loading up
on the charges.

Even if you pin negligence,
on the fucking wagon there,

how the fuck do you come out
with second-degree murder?

- A fucking murder.
- TAYLOR: It's crazy.

WARD: That shit don't make
no fucking sense.

And them guys they charged
for making the arrest? He ran.

And they got him with a knife.

- JENKINS: That's what the fuck I'm saying.
- That's it.

- EVODIO HENDRIX: Exactly.
- And now this little fucking animal,

they're gonna make him out
to be a fucking hero, watch.

That's what they're gonna do,
you hear these people

- cheering for this bullshit? Nobody has a fucking idea.
- TAYLOR: Gonna fuck us up.

Can you imagine
our guys right now?

Seeing these charges?
You know it's gonna fuck 'em up.

TAYLOR: Them motherfuckers
ain't gonna wanna work.

I tell you what? Fuck it,

I'm going out

I'm doing it tonight.

I'm going to every fucking

You don't be selfish.

You don't be judgmental.

- So, what's next?
- JENSEN: According to Mr. Ward's list,

um, the robbery
on Heathfield Road.

Go ahead.

So, it was Sergeant Jenkins,
Taylor, Hendrix, and me...

and Sergeant Jenkins is driving.

the wrong way
down Jonquil Avenue

when he spots this guy, Brown,
getting into a mini-van.

Now, Jenkins had this thing
about anybody over, like, 18

carrying a bookbag.

He figured they were
concealing drugs or weapons.

Now, this one started off
like our usual takedowns, but...

man, then it just
went off the chain.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

I wouldn't worry about all that.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

told the two suspects

he was a federal agent,
just like he did at the BT.

And he told us

Stevenson probably had
a lot more cash and coke.

So he had dispatch run Stevenson
through the watch center,

and they came up
with an address

for the man's house up
on Heathfield.

So, we tossed the house.

Down in the basement...

- JENKINS: Yeehaw!
- WARD: ...Jenkins hits the jackpot.

- JENKINS: Down here!
- Whoo!

- My man.
- Damn!

When was the last time
you seen one of those, huh?

WARD: Oh, man.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

- JENKINS: Whoo-wee!
- WARD: What you got?

HENDRIX:
Hey, come look out for yourself.

You just know there's money
up in that bitch.

HENDRIX: Hella money.

All right, Mo, you stay here.
You two, with me.

- Where you going?
- We're gonna go get a warrant.

Copy.

Ain't this some shit.

So, they left me
to guard the house

and they're taking a while,
I'm starting to get nervous.

And I hear females
come into the house.

It was Stevenson's wife
and her sister.

And I advised them
as to what was going on,

but the wife started acting
a fool. So, I called Jenkins

and he says he'll send
Taylor back

and I was to call a marked unit.

The uniform arrives,

the females, they settle down
in the living room.

So, this must've
gone on for hours.

Yeah, it was like a couple hours

before Hendrix and Jenkins
finally showed up.

And that's when they brought
the-- the pry bar and the ram.

Oh. That shit popped.
Let's go, let's get it.

[ALL GRUNTING]

- Oh, fuck yeah.
- Holy shit.

Fuck I tell ya? I told you Reese
was a big dog, right?

The fuck I say?

How much he say
was supposed to be in there?

HENDRIX:
Hundred. Hundred thousand.

That's a lot fucking more
than a hundred thou.

Bet your ass, all right,
let's go. Let's get it out

- and count it.
- TAYLOR: All right.

Let's go. Get it all out.

Get it all out
on the floor right there.

I'd say there's about 10 Gs

in each one of those stacks,
that seem right?

- Same here.
- JENKINS: Okay,

here's what we're gonna do.
You count out ten
of those piles,

100,000 dollars,
that goes in the safe.

All right?
We're gonna shut that shit up.

Everything else goes
in the duffle bag.

Okay? Right
in that fucking duffle bag.

Let's make it happen, let's go.

[CLAPPING] Come on.

- TAYLOR: All right.
- HENDRIX: Duffel bag by the car.

WARD: Got ten right here.

[ZIPPER WHOOSHING]

All right, let me tell you...

tell you what we gonna do, okay?

In case Stevenson makes
a little bitch-ass complaint,

we gotta cover
our ass, all right?

You take out
your camera phone.

Okay? We gonna video
this whole fucking thing.

We gonna make a movie.
You understand?

You gonna pry
that bitch open again.

Do it the same fucking way.
You're gonna hit that bitch

and you're gonna pry it.
All right? When it opens,

you say, "Oh my God.
Holy shit," all that.

Believe in what the fuck
you're saying, all right?

I'm gonna be upstairs.

You guys call for me
when that shit opens.

You make sure you get everything
on camera, you understand?

- Everything. See the whole fucking world.
- Yes, Sarge.

- JENKINS: You got it?
- Got it.

All right, let's go
motherfuckers. Listen, make sure

you start at the same time.

What's the shit
that movie assholes say?

Uh. Fucking action. Right?

Say, "action" then start.
Don't say "action" on camera.

MRS. STEVENSON:
Where is my husband?

JENKINS: Make sure you're
on the same fucking page.

- MRS. STEVENSON: Do you have a warrant?
- Bro, what the fuck?

Are we really about to do this?

[INDISTINCT YELLING]

- Y'all ready?
- TAYLOR: Yeah, man. We got to.

HENDRIX: All right, back up.

- Come on.
- Come on, let's go.

- You ready?
- Yeah. [SIGHS]

I think I'm close.

TAYLOR:
We almost got it open, Sarge.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

HENDRIX: Oh, my God. Holy shit.

JENKINS: All right,
somebody get a flashlight on it.

- WARD: Jesus.
- Back off. Everybody, stay the fuck away

and just put a flashlight on it.

Is there more
than 5,000 dollars in there?

- WARD: Yes, sir.
- Okay. I gotta call the feds.

Any time you get a seizure
of over 5,000 dollars,

you gotta call
the High Intensity
Drug Trafficking Area agents.

Excellent work, gentlemen.

Just another seizure
by the books.

Sergeant Jenkins gave
Hendrix, Taylor, and me

twenty thou each...

and he kept the rest.

- Did-- did he get 20,000?
- No, it was a lot more.

WISE: Did anyone
have a problem with him

getting more
than the rest of you?

No, he was Wayne Jenkins.
He was the one

who could see something
going down on the street

and put all the pieces together.

I mean, just driving down
Jonquil Avenue the wrong way,

smart.

And from that,
we knocked off a big dog.

So, what did you do
with the money?

WARD: On my way home,
I had time to think.

I parked my car outside my house
and I took a walk.

[INSECTS CHITTERING]

[CAT YOWLING]

So you want us to believe
that you tossed away

your 20,000 dollars?

[SCOFFS] Crazy, right?

SIERACKI:
If it wasn't about the money...

WARD: I-- I wanted to get in
with these guys.

You know, you don't
wanna be black-balled.

You don't want them
to think you a snitch.

Right? So...

And to be truthful, if I thought
I could take that money

and not get caught,
I probably would've kept it.

But I didn't
wanna bring that money

in my house
and jeopardize my family.

Bad outweighed the good.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

Shit. I'm an idiot.

Last spring,

if McDougal and Kilpatrick
hadn't flagged it...

I was about to warn Jenkins

his squad
was under investigation.

And I could've fucked up
this entire case.

But you didn't.

- [MONITOR BEEPING]
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]

JENKINS: You don't even
fucking wanna know.

[ALL LAUGHING]

JENKINS: Then they came
through with that, uh,

remember they came through

with all that slash day
bullshit, right?

You know, push
to get guns off the street.
We gonna give you a slash day

- for every gun you get.
- Yeah.

That didn't do shit.
I mean, day off,

that don't put money
in your pocket.

That don't fucking incentivize
nobody, right?

So, then the murder rate
starts to go crazy again.

Everybody's fucking head
gets all fucked up, right?

And they finally figured it out.

Let's turn on that
overtime speed.

Look, I don't know
about you guys,

but over in SES.
What were we doing?

- Putting in work. Grinding.
- Straight up.

Straight the fuck up. Grinding.

What are we doing
this for, right?

- HENDRIX: Money.
- That's right. That's fucking right.

Fuck yeah.

How about you just--
Tell 'em what you did.

You know, last year, base.

Like 72, 73 thou.

Tell 'em what you made
on overtime.

Sixty-two.

- JENKINS: Oh, good.
- You got me beat.

Shit, I only made 29.

- 'Cause you don't do shit.
- Nigga, shut your...

My base last year was 85
and my overtime was 83.

- Yeah, you heard that right.
- [HENDRIX SCOFFS]

I don't know if y'all are
fucking math wizards,

but I'll tell you right now,
that's 170,000.

That ain't fucking bad
for a sergeant

- doing day work, right?
- Hell no.

And now look.
They just handed me
the gun trace taskforce,

- right?
- Mm-hmm.

Made my ass citywide, right?
Great, it's awesome, right?

But you gotta ask yourself
why did they do that?

See, these bosses,
they think I'm the golden boy.

They think Wayne Jenkins
can do no wrong.

I mean, Mosby,
she jams these guys up.

What's going on
in this department right now?

There's a work slowdown across
the entire fucking thing.

But we were
out there in the SES,

we were
fucking kicking ass right?

- HENDRIX: Fucking right.
- We're putting in work, getting guns.

Commissioner Davis
comes up to me

and he says,
"Well, how do you do it?'

How do you keep
your men motivated

in an environment like this?"
I say, "It's easy, sir.

It's just one little word
and that word's 'overtime.'"

- HENDRIX: Whoo!
- He said, "Cool. Shit.

Keep up the good work, son."

That's what he said.
Well, you know something?

That's exactly
what the fuck we gonna do.

We gonna keep up that good work.

So, starting tomorrow,
we gonna work eight to four,

but we ain't coming in till two.

- Whoo!
- Aye.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Shit, I like that.

But when we do come in,
we come correct.

We go proactive
as a motherfucker.

You understand me? We go,
and we come to fucking hunt.

We go get those guns,
you understand?

Because as long as we do that,
as long as we produce,

as long as we put
those numbers up,

they don't fucking give a shit
about what we do.

We literally can do
whatever the fuck we want.

You understand me?

We own this city.

We own it.

Aye, I'm with that shit.

- Hit me, nigga.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Fuck yeah.
- That's dope.

It sounds like you running
for something, Jenkins.

[ALL LAUGH]

He tryna be the mayor
or some shit? I'm just saying.
