"Ten-13, shots fired." "Alleyway behind 526 Baxter." "Get a bus." "Central, we've got a suspect down, gunshot wounds." "We need a bus now, 526 Baxter." "Okay." "Okay, Okay." "Roe, he's dead." "Roe, hey." "Roe." "Roe, listen to me." "He's dead." "Roe, there's nothing you can do for him" " Okay, okay, calm down." " Roe?" " I didn't have a choice." " Where's his gun?" " He" "He went right down." "I started CPR on him." "I need you to stand back." "Do not come any further." "We're the police." "Roe, did you see which direction his gun went?" " I don't know." "He" " We're gonna find it." " Yeah." "He had a gun." " We're gonna find it, Roe." "No, it's" " No, it's somewhere." "When I got to the alley, I hear him running and I went after him." "There was a light, like a security light." "I saw a flash off the barrel of the gun." "I shouted, "Police, don't move."" " Then he spun around raising his arm." " Hey, you did what you had to." "What am I gonna do?" "Guy had it coming." "Every cop would've done the same thing." "It's a solid story and you have got to stop telling it." " What?" " No statements." "No stories." "No stories." "Not to me or anyone else." "Do not screw around with this." " Listen." " Yeah." "Call your union rep." "Right now." "And have them find you a lawyer." "Al already gave me the number." "I need your gun." "It's just procedure." "Right." "Right, right." " They gotta run ballistics." " No, no, no, I..." "Listen, kid, there's no way around it." "That first time sucks." " Right." "Yeah." " But you're gonna get through it." "He gonna sit down with a counsellor?" " Told him to." " ln a way that you hate shrinks..." " ...or a way that might get him to do it?" " You know, a little bit of both." " You canvass all the witnesses?" " Yeah, all the ones at the scene." "Got some more possibles coming in." "Mike's running down the 911 call transcripts." "Did you ever see the gun?" "I was so focused on Roe." "You know, Al he said he saw the gun and" "I know he believes he saw it." " Yeah?" " Hey, sorry." "So front desk called." "David Jacobs' father is downstairs." "He wants to meet the cop who shot his son." "Bring him up." "Right this way, sir." "Mr. Jacobs, this is Lieutenant Burns." " I'm very sorry for your loss, sir." " I don't wanna meet anyone's boss." "I wanna talk to the man who killed my son." "We can't disclose information about an on-going investigation." "Someone's already disclosed your side to the news." "They say my son pulled a gun." "Well, that's a lie." "David could never have done that." "My son did two tours." "He's got a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart." "And he comes home to what?" "Shot by some cop who's lying to cover his own ass." "Why don't we go to my office?" "We can talk." "I just want to file charges against the detective who killed my son." "All right." "Nina, will you take Mr. Jacobs to Ms. Johnson's office?" " Of course." " Again." "I'm very sorry for your loss." "This way." "The officer said I could get them here." "We'll take care of that now." "Fill out some forms." "Betty, this is the father of the man who was shot last night." "His name is Clay Jacobs." "Officer Daniels, show Mrs. Gonsalez where to sign the form..." " ...and I'll be back to make her a copy." " Sure." "Mr. Jacobs, it will be a minute." "Can I get you anything-?" "What do you do here?" "Ms. Johnson will take your information." "Do what with it?" "Complaints are forwarded to the Complaint Board." "This is not a complaint." "I'm filing a murder charge." "The DA will take care of filing charges once the investigation is completed." " That's not our function." " What is your function?" "What I do is make sure your specific issues are heard and dealt with." "You're handling me." " What's going on?" " We're fine, officer." "We're not fine." "Mr. Jacobs is understandably upset." " Everything's gonna be okay." " Everything's not gonna be okay." " No." "You people killed my son." " Sir, you need to calm down." " Put the gun down." " You put it down." "Drop it." "Now." "Do it or he's dead." " You, get out of here." " Come on, let's go." "All right." "You, get the door." "Get the door." "Now." "You stay here and sit by the window." " Get the vest off now." "Now." " Bill, give him your vest." "Everybody, shoes off." "Get them off." "Take them off." "Cuff him to the chairs." "Come on." "Sit down." "Sit down." "I know Clay didn't mean for any of this to happen." "The best plan is for all of us, including Betty and" "Dolores." " Hi, Dolores, I'm Nina." " Hi, Nina." "I think the best thing is to just try to remain calm." "Right, Clay?" "Why don't you stack these chairs against the door?" "Stack them against the door." "Go." "Now, now, now." "Let's go." "Keep moving." "She's engaging him, that's smart." "Yeah." "And he's putting on the vest, a good thing." " Means he wants to get out alive." " Or a bad thing." "Means he's planning on engaging us." " Martin." "Al Burns." " Yeah, I remember." "Nice haircut." "Job interview?" "New guy went overboard with his razor." " This is Detective Wells." " Carrie." " Who's my guy?" " Clay Jacobs." "Ex-Marine." "Son was a perp." "One of my detectives shot and killed him last night." " Same detective he took hostage?" " No." "Good news." "What does this guy want?" "A meet with the man who shot his son." "That's not gonna happen." "Jacobs have family?" "A daughter." "Kim, 18." "Let's bring her in." " She's already on her way." " Keep her on ice for a bit." " You are?" " Mike Costello." "I just talked to the military liaison." "And this is apparently totally out of character for Mr. Jacobs." "He nearly died pulling two Marines out of a burning APC in Fallujah." "And last year, he started an outreach programme for burn victims." "Okay, so we wait him out, maybe his good sense will prevail." " Not in my experience." " What is your experience?" "Guy's a Marine, man of action." "He's not trained to wait things out." " They act." "Our job is to act first." " How do the hostages fit into all this?" "Look in that room." "You see your colleagues, your friends in jeopardy." "Concern is not gonna get them out any sooner." "And believe me, it might help get them dead." "You want your friends back, let me do my job." " Phone in the room work?" " lt does." "Let's get the man talking." "Talk to me about the son." "Roe" " Detective Saunders and I were working a murder investigation of a local drug dealer, Leron Holmes." "We got a tip that David Jacobs was seen fighting with him..." " ...so we brought him in." " Leron and I just had this thing, is all." "Knocking out a drug dealer's teeth." "That's ballsy, even for an ex-Marine." "It was personal." "We straightened it out." "We had his Marine Corps records." "He was medically discharged." "We figured maybe he'd picked up a habit." "He denied it." "If you weren't buying from Leron, what was the fight about?" "Like I said, it was personal." "It was personal for Leron." "I mean, you humiliated him in front of his crew." "He was saying he was gonna kill you." "Is that why you shot him?" "Kill him before he could kill you?" " lf that's what happened, just tell us." " I didn't kill anybody." "He said he was with his sister." "But he couldn't provide any witnesses." "We had a DNA sample from hair found at the crime scene." "I can go?" "Yeah, you can go." "We were able to type David off a soda can." "It matched the hair." "It gave us probable cause." "Get me a copy of the case jacket, will you?" "Come on." "Forensically, Roe's story adds up." "The bullet was from Roe's gun, the victim was shot in the chest," " The angle of entry was perpendicular." " What about toxicology?" "David had no drugs or alcohol in his system." "But his hands and his clothes were free of all gunshot residue." " Certainly he did not fire a gun." " Roe never said he used it." "If you just hold a gun I can find trace elements of residue from the last time the gun was fired." "Press is gonna have a field day with those lab results." "The lab's been awfully slow lately." "I'm not sure I got ballistic reports back as quickly as I had hoped." "Buy us a little breathing room." " I'll look into it." " Thank you." "Martin." "Son of a bitch." " You should answer." " I don't feel like talking to the cops." "They saw you disable the camera, they need to make sure we're okay." "I don't care what the cops are worried about right now." "Clay, you do not want them storming in here." "Come on, you're smarter than that." "Just give them something." "Mr. Jacobs." "Lewis Martin." "I'm here to help resolve the situation." " Is there anything I can get-?" " Everybody's fine." "Here." " force the DA to file murder charges against the detective who shot his son." "Hey, Al sent you home." "Would you leave?" "My son wasn't guilty of anything and the cops shot him." "And they don't even have the courage to tell me who the coward was who did it." "Miles, shut that off!" "And now they didn't even tell me who it wa" "Guy doesn't know what he's talking about." "Mike, my office." " Don't let it get to you." " What are you still doing here?" "Has anyone notified Nina's family?" "At least let me do that." "It's being handled." "I know you wanna help but this is the worst possible place for you to be." "So go home." " That's an order." " Yes, sir." "Jacobs talking to media is gonna bring more heat." " Where are we on finding that gun?" " We've circled back to every witness." "There are hundreds of apartments." "No one saw anything." "I don't know how it's possible." "Maybe someone did." "I got through those transcripts." "Mostly just people reporting shots fired." " But there's this one call." " "Anonymous."" "Yeah, 526 Baxter, it's a building that backs the alley they got a payphone in the lobby." "Male, Hispanic." "He reported a police shooting." "How'd he know it was a police shooting if he didn't see anything?" "Wait a minute." "There was a shadow." "There was someone above us, on the fire escape." "They saw something." "We need to get back to that building." "Martin's got him talking again." "Absolutely, which is why I am saying we are both on the same page." "If this man shot my son for no reason, then he should be brought to justice." "Of course and if it's true, he will be..." " ...just as soon as we get by all this." " What's she saying?" "An N. Y.P.D. spokesman refused to comment..." " ...citing the hostage situation" " Does he have a TV?" " Clay?" " Several sources have confirmed  that police never found the gun David Jacobs" " I knew my son couldn't have done it." " -before he was shot to death." " Don't even." " Don't." " Put the gun down." " Shut up." " Clay, don't" " Shut up!" "Clay?" "Clay?" "Come on." "You pull that trigger, we are all dead." "Clay?" " Clay?" "Clay?" " Shut up." "Shut up." " Clay." "not released a statement regarding the hostage" " What, are you trying to piss me off?" " Clay, the game's changed." "All right?" "You put a man down." "You know, they're gonna be getting real anxious outside." "All right, you get it." "Hey, this is Nina." "We got everything under control." " Anyone hurt?" " Yeah." "Daniels has a head laceration and possible concussion." "He did something stupid." " Nina, it's Al." "You all right?" " Yeah." "Hey, Al, the rest of us are fine." "Clay, you listening?" "Here's a chance to show good faith and let the injured man go." "In return, I turn the power back on and give you food and water." "I don't want food and water." "I want the man who killed my son." "What next?" "If he doesn't let the man out, we go in." " Call that a negotiation?" " He understands strength." "Unless we re-establish a connection, we go in." " Clay, this isn't good." " He'll be fine." "No, he's not." "You keep telling everyone how you want justice," " How your son was wronged." " He was." "Yeah, you keep hurting people in here, nobody's gonna believe you." "Nice work, Nina." "That's one hostage out." "Do me a favour." "See what you can get from him." "Layout of furniture, weapons, hostages, everything." "Yeah, happy to help." " We got the daughter, Kim Jacobs." " Let's go." "I'm gonna join, if that's cool." "Go on." "Go." "Go." " I wanna talk to my dad." " I understand." "But before I let that happen, we need to talk about what you're gonna say." "He's fragile." "What he needs to hear is that you love him you care and you don't wanna see him hurt." "It's better if we record a message." "Make sure we get it, we can play it." "No." "No, I wanna talk to him, not be some mouthpiece for you." "I understand, but he already hurt one person." "That's because you people shot my brother!" "Lieutenant, I'm gonna take this one for a second." "Kim, walk with me for a second?" "Hey, everybody's pretty wound up right now." "I understand that you're upset." "Okay?" "I do." "Can I get you a soda or something?" "Whatever." "Take a seat." "Please?" "I'm Carrie." "That's a cool jacket." "Your brother's?" "Yeah." "David gave this to me when he got home." "I wear it all the time." "That's all I have to remember him by now." "You gonna let me talk to my dad or what?" "If you can stop him from hurting himself or the people he's holding." " Why is he doing this?" " He's in pain." "And that's all he can feel and all he can see." " Yeah, well, I'm in pain too." " I know you are." "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" "What?" "When was the last time you saw David?" "Last night." " Did he have a gun?" " No." "David didn't have nothing." "The cop who shot him is a liar." " That's the truth!" " Okay." "Give me a second, okay?" "She's not gonna help us." "She doesn't believe he had a gun." "If we wanna get Clay out, find that weapon." " What if there is no weapon?" " I know." "We gotta keep looking." " Take Mike." " Okay." "Stop!" "Police!" "Stop!" "Police!" "You shouldn't be touching that." "Sorry." "I was just going next door to the lab." "Drug test." "Legally, you're not required." "Hey, I got nothing to hide." "So I heard the residue test was negative." "That doesn't prove he didn't have a gun." "How are you doing?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "You know, I'm just worried about Nina is all." "That gun will turn up." "We'll get through this." "Yeah." "In the meantime, do you have anybody to talk to?" "Close friends or family or...?" "Only family is my mom." "She's down in Destrehan." "It's up the river from New Orleans." "She moved back couple of years ago." "I don't talk to her too much." "She's not doing so hot, so I just..." " lt would be a tough way to check in." " Oh, yeah." "And my dad..." "He's kind of MlA at the moment." "Pretty much all my friends are across the street." "They're just a little busy to talk." "If you ever wanna gab, I've got a half a box of Triscuits and some amazing prosciutto from Vespucci's for just such an occasion." "You know, I always figured one day, I might have to shoot somebody." "Even spent a lot of time wondering how that might feel." "You were doing your job." "You should not feel guilty about this." "Right." " Vespucci's off Northern Boulevard?" " The very same." "Might have to take you up on that sometime." "Good." "Thanks, Jo." "It could have been any one of these apartments." "No, it's somewhere." "He was outside smoking." "All right, here, just take my shoulder." "What are you looking for?" "This." "The thing about a phoney lD, Mr. Juan Smith is that you get what you pay for, I'm guessing 10 bucks?" "Look, I've lived here for nine years." "I cause no trouble." "We don't care about your immigration status." "You called 911, you helped us out and we appreciate it." "I just" " I need to know what you saw." "I saw a man run below me, followed by another man." "The second man shot the other one." "Then you ran into the alley." " That's when I went to call the police." " The first man, the one who got shot." " Did you see a gun in his hands?" " lt was dark." "I need you to think, okay?" "This is really important." " You want me to say yes?" " We want the truth." "It was too dark." "I don't know." "I remember a junkie took something from behind the dumpster after you passed by." " What does he look like?" " Black." "Skinny." "Always hanging around." "Mike, I saw him." "I need to talk to the cop who works this beat." "Thank you." "A revelation that casts serious doubt on the detective and his actions." "Can I tell you something?" "Of course." "I've been playing the alley over and over in my head." "And just seems like the more I do the fuzzier my memory becomes and..." "I don't know if I'm remembering or imagining, and I can't tell the difference." "Look, you've been under a lot of stress and now Nina" " Which is my fault." " No, it's not." "What this guy is doing is crazy." "What you did was right." " You were defending yourself." " I don't know anymore." "Maybe he didn't have a gun." "Hey." "Everything is gonna be okay." "Yeah." "For Nina's sake, I hope so." "Thanks, T." "Announce charges against Det." "Saunders then drop them after Jacobs releases the hostages." "I don't care if it's a lie." "It's" "No." "No, I understand." "DA's not playing ball." "He thinks every hostage taker will ask for the same deal." " He's right." " We got him." "Jimmy D. A junkie, hangs out in the alley." "I think he saw something." "They're processing him." " Think he has the gun?" " We don't know." "But he'll talk when he realises the crap he stepped into." "Sir, perimeter's been breached." "It's Detective Saunders." " What's this?" " I don't know, but just stay cool, okay?" " Who's there?" " It's Detective Roe Saunders." "I'm the one who shot your son." " He said he was authorised." " Roe." "Detective Saunders, I'm ordering you to move away from that door." "I'm unarmed." "Get in." " On the wall." " Easy." "Easy." "Take it easy." "I got no gun." "How do I know that you're really the one who shot my son?" "Tell him, Nina." "Detective Saunders worked David's case." "Is he really the one who killed my son?" "It was in self-defence." "You killed my boy." "You wanna die?" "Wanna die, detective?" " Clay, don't." " Sit down!" "You wanna die?" "You wanna die like my son?" " Sir, we believe that your son killed" " Don't you lie to me about my son." "We believe he killed a drug dealer named Leron Holmes." "That's a lie." " We can end this." "Just give us the go." " How much time?" " Couple of minutes." " You got it." "Go." "You got about a minute to tell me something I can believe." "We went to your apartment to arrest David and he ran from us." "That's a lie." "No." "I brought the case file with me." "Okay?" "It's all there, please see for yourself." "Please." " Hostages coming out." " Hold your fire, this way." " Okay, go." "Go." " Roe." " You okay?" " There is a gun to Roe's head." "You go in there now, he's dead." "Listen to me, you gotta wait." "Let me work my witness." "Please, just give me a little more time." " Stand down." " Stand down." " Thank you." " You play it out with that junkie." " That gun doesn't turn up, I'm going in." " All right." "Clay's got the case file." "Hopefully, he looks over the facts, sees why it went down like it did." " You sure you're okay?" " What the hell was Roe thinking?" "He was thinking about you." "Now, let's get you checked out." "You took something from behind the dumpster." "You should've looked up." "The guy saw you." "I don't know nothing." "That's where I keep my, you know." " No, we don't know." " My stash." "That's where I hide it." "I heard the shots." "I knew you'd be crawling over the place." "So I got it and got the hell out." " Your know you twitch when you lie?" " I'm telling the truth." "Look." "You got a cigarette?" "Cops took my last two." " What did you pawn today, Jimmy?" " Nothing." " What did you pawn?" " Nothing." "You're twitching." " There's not a shred of truth in there." " Those are David's own words." "He admitted to getting into a fight with Leron." "No, no." "Coercion." "Come on, I know how you cops work." " David's DNA was at the murder scene." " That's wrong." "He was your son." "I know it must be hard to admit that" "Shut up." "Just shut up." "Mr. Jacobs I came because I wanted you to hear what happened in that alley and hear it from me." "I followed David he turned on me and I thought I saw a gun and I made an instant decision." "But the truth is even though I've replayed it a thousand times the only thing I can say with 100-percent certainty is that I thought I saw a gun." "They may come through that door any minute now and however all of this turns out, I wanna say I'm sorry." "My son couldn't use a weapon." "My son could not fire a weapon." "What do you mean he couldn't?" "In Afghanistan he was forward." "His squad was sweeping a village for Taliban." "They got ambushed." "He took out two locals." "One of the locals was a bystander." "And after that, David just couldn't do it." "Couldn't fire a weapon." "And, you know, the corps, they were as patient as they could be." "But what the hell good is a Marine who can't shoot, right?" "So he was MD'd." "Discharged." "PTSD." "You're telling me that my boy came home and shot someone?" "You're telling me my boy came home, put a weapon on you?" "Don't you see?" "He couldn't have done that." "He could not have done that." "It's impossible." "I'm so sorry, sir." " What?" " Mr. Jacobs, look under the door." " Tell me when you have it." " What's this?" "It's your gun." "I know this is" " What?" "This my gun." "What are you showing it to me for?" "Because it's the gun David used to kill Leron Holmes." "It's the same one he had in the alley." "It's got David's prints all over it." "There was no gun." "You told me there was no gun." " Mr. Jacobs, the gun was in the alley." " Your man just confessed." "There was no weapon." "No more lies, okay?" "I'm sick of your ass-covering lies." "It's over." "If Det." "Saunders confessed, our hostage taker just got what he wants." "When he comes down, he's gonna realise there's two ways out:" "In cuffs or in a body bag." "One for your friend, one for himself." "So our options are, he kills Roe and then kills himself or you storm in, and Roe gets caught in the crossfire?" " My guys know what they're doing." " We have other options, okay?" "We have Kim." "She can talk to him." "She can make this better." "She believes her brother is innocent." "What is she gonna she say Clay doesn't know?" " Martin, it's worth a shot." " She's useless." "If it was me..." " Nice haircut." " Yeah, new guy." "Went overboard with his razor." "Went overboard with his razor." "I'd get her out of here." "She shouldn't have to look at this." "Let's go." "That's a cool jacket, your brother's?" "David gave this to me when he got home." "I wear it all the time." "It's all I have to remember him by now." "So if you weren't buying from Leron, what was the fight about?" "Like I said, it was personal." "Al?" "What if Clay is right?" " About what?" " What if David didn't shoot Leron?" "Can I have 10 minutes?" " Carrie, they just" " Please." "Just 10 minutes." "Trust me." "Yes?" "Thank you." "You recognise this?" "It's your dad's." " The one David had when he was shot." " Okay." "You know why we thought David was guilty?" "He was seen fighting with Leron." "Leron shows up dead and we find David's hair at the crime scene." "Just a single hair, a little thing." "Hair has a way of sticking around you know, to collars, pockets, on jackets." "David gave you this jacket." "You wear it all the time." "You said so yourself." "Maybe you can help me out, Kim, because I can't get it in my head." "David didn't do drugs." "The autopsy report shows he was clean." "So why was he fighting with a drug dealer?" " Do you know why?" " I don't know." " You knew Leron." " No." " Were you dating him?" " No." " Did David find out?" " I didn't know Leron." "Kim, listen to me." "We are running out of time." "They are gonna go in there and kill your father." "Now, you've already lost your brother." "You don't wanna lose your father too." "You don't." "I need you to tell me what happened." "I need you to tell me the truth." "When David came home from Afghanistan he found out that I was running with Leron and that I was using." "He got mad." "He went to tell Leron to stay away from me..." " ...but Leron just laughed in his face." " That's why they were fighting." "Leron told everybody that he was gonna kill David, all right?" "I didn't know what to do, but I had to stop him." "I had to." "So you killed him?" "And that's why David had the gun." "He was trying to get rid of it to protect you, right?" "David, he" "He never gave up on me." "When he came home and I was totally screwed up into drugs he didn't turn his back on me." "He stood up for me." "And now he's dead and it's all my fault." " It's not your fault." " Yeah." "I'm so stupid." "Listen to me." "Kim you can make this right." "You can but you need to tell your father the truth and you need to tell him now." "Please." "My son was a good man." "He didn't deserve to die on the street like a dog." "Please you don't have to do this." "Yeah, I do." "For my son's honour." "For whatever's left of mine." "Daddy?" "Daddy, it's me." "Kimmy?" "Kimmy?" "Daddy, it's me, okay?" "So you can come out now." "Kimmy, get away from the door." "Listen to me." "This is all my fault." "No." "No." "I'm the reason. ...that David is dead." "I know they're telling you what to say, but you don't have to lie for them." "I'm not lying." "It was me." "I'm the one, Daddy." "I..." "I took your gun and I shot Leron." "He said he was gonna kill David." "I had to." "Daddy, please." "Come out." "I don't want you to die." "No." "Move back." "Move back." "I'm coming out with Mr. Jacobs." "Mr. Jacobs is gonna turn himself in." "But I made him a promise and I need to make good on it." "He wants to see his son." " What's your guy doing?" " You heard him." "Arrest him." "Detective Saunders, do you feel you're being held hostage?" "I don't believe so, no." "Then your work is done, Martin." "I have a suspect, I'll decide how to handle him." "Proceed, detective." "Hey." "I thought you could use something stiff." "You know, better not." "I'm suspended." "You couldn't have known..." "You couldn't have known what was in David's head." "You just saw the gun, that's it." "And then I didn't." "Memory can be a very tricky, deceiving thing, you know?" "What do you know about it?" "It's always perfectly clear for you." "That's not always such a good thing, you know?" "Well, you saved my life." "Your gift, curse, whatever it is." "All right." "So then we should drink to my whatever-it-is." "Come on, have a drink." "It's not like they can double-suspend me, right?" "That's right." "What is in this?" "You know, I got a guy." "You know, it's..." "Thanks." "Sure."
