"It's a graffiti writer's black book." "It's why I needed to talk to you." "I told the police back then my son was nothing but a huffer." "He was sniffing paint?" "Well, I'd catch him huddled up with a paper bag and paint cans," "Stealing money out of my purse..." "He never talked about graffiti?" "We hardly saw each other." "I had to work three jobs" "Just to keep a roof over our heads." "You thought he was an addict." "So I kicked him out." "But he was an artist, wasn't he?" "You ever see carlos after he left the house?" "He'd sneak in after I left for work, raid the fridge." "Left his backpack once." "Next day, they told me he was dead." "Look at this one." "It was October 11, 1982." "That's the day carlos died, right?" "T-u-r?" "It looks like part of a bigger piece," "But there's no other pictures." "You know where this photo was taken?" "I wish."

"Well, see if you can trace the can, locate the retailer." "Victim had three healed broken ribs" "At the time of his death." "Well, mom kicked him out," "And carlos was living on the streets." "Lot of ways for a kid to get hurt out there." "Any idea where he racked his supplies?" "Well, mom said she found receipts in his jean pockets" "Uh, small stuff like gum." "That's an old trick." "Pay for something cheap so no one's suspicious," "Then shoplift the paint." "Well, the receipts were from a..." "Harold's hardware." "I'll show them a photo, see if maybe someone remembers carlos." "Had a steady hand." "Clean lines." "Looked into nrke." "The crew was notorious" "In the '80s for violent street justice." "So, carlos was killed in their hood?"

"Cruised around in my mercury monarch" "With a gallon of paint, removers." "People say these kids are vandals, crooks." "Wonder why." "Just neglected kids trying to show the world they exist."

"Judging by the way" "The t's slanted, I'd say it's him all right." "Who is he?" "Good question." "Guy's been bombing the city almost three decades." "Are you saying he" "Still hits places today?" "Most bombers leave churches and cemeteries alone." "Turbo's got no respect for anything or anyone." "Do you know where this photo was taken?" "Hmm." "Too small to make out any landmarks." "Where'd you get it?" "Kid we're looking into, carlos espinosa." "This was his black book." "Went by blaze." "Oh, I know that tag." "You didn't mention blaze" "On the phone." "Is that why you asked about nrke?" "Why, is there a connect?" "Blaze was new on the scene." "Nrke taught him a serious lesson." "What the hell you doing, hermano?" "Just trying to get my name on the map." "You got to dis to get noticed." "Nobody bombs here without going through me." "This is nrke's wall." "Fool, I am nrke." "This is pretty." "It's better than what was up there." "Yeah." "Who is this kid?" "You think you got style?" "This is my block." "I'm the king." "You'd better get somebody else to do your writing, man." "You're cocky for somebody who's about to get his ass beat." "¶ yeah, well, all right ¶" "¶ let's rock tonight ¶" "¶ all night ¶ turn him over."

"Drove straight to a pay phone." "By the time they got there everyone was gone" "Including blaze." "Explains the broken ribs." "What about the thug?" "Head of nrke?" "Called himself tut." "One thing I know:" "Nobody disrespected the king." "Philly's finest looking for a new paint job?" "Shop's a step up from tagging with nrke." "Nrke." "Haven't heard that name in a while." "Understand you were the king." "Took it pretty serious." "Thought I was bombing the system," "Leaving my mark." "Just a bunch of hoodlums running on the streets." "Investigating the murder of carlos espinosa." "Went by the tag of blaze back in '82." "Not a bad throw up." "Prolly would've messed him up" "Real good if I would've caught him." "Got a witness says you were doing exactly that." ""gonna feed you" "This can." sound familiar?" "Look, uh, back in the day," "Thought the only thing you had in this world was your name," "Your reputation." "Well, toy like carlos disses you," "You gotta show him you mean business, right?" "Mm-hmm." "But the boy came around a few weeks later," "Tail between his legs," "And the king granted him a pardon." "Believe this?" "Fool's stupider than I thought." "I want to g-go."

"Can you believe it?" "Thought I was giving him the keys to the castle." "Now, who was the kid with carlos?" "Never knew his name." "What about the girl?" "Uh..." "Gina something." "Always writing with that nasty orange." "She part of your crew?" "She wanted to be." "Told her she had a sloppy hand with no style." "You know how she got her tag, talon?" "Heard she, uh, clawed out some guy's eyes." "Tried to warn carlos, but once she got it in you," "She ain't never letting go." "yeah?" "Carlos's last piece." "Id put it under a complex magnifier." "Get anything?" "The wall has oval-shaped bricks." "There's one place in town" "With those bricks:" "The sewer system." "Tagger's mo is" "To get his name up where everyone can see it."

"You said he took your paint?" "Five cannons of my signature orange." "Know where he went?" "No." "He was right, though." "There's more to life than just bombing." "Question is:" "Where did he go with that paint?" "Yeah, only the one can found at the crime scene." "Wasn't any graffiti" "In that alley." "Look." "The wall behind carlos's body is completely bare." "It seem odd to you" "A whitewashed wall in nrke territory?" "Would have been hit a hundred times." "That wall's got a story to tell." "Let's peel back the layers." "Your liquor store, your gym," "Your el stop, your dear mother's church." "Playing a game-- this is your life?" "Cops must be bored." "Sit up." "Listen to the lady." "Above your liquor store, turbo 102." "On your gym marquee," "Turbo 102." "On the church door, turbo 102." "That your tag?" "Tut is my scribe." "Yeah, in the '80s."

"Matched the paint samples from turbo 102 with auto paint" "In your body shop." "It's expensive, but..." "You get it wholesale, right?" "You got me, I'm, I'm turbo 102." "You stink like a rat." "Who you calling a rat, man?" "I'm the king." "Yeah, king snitch." "Made anonymous calls about carlos and his friend leon." "I ain't no rat, man." "Lowest life-form there is, except for pigs." "Got something else you want to say, hmm?" "Come on in, don." "A snitch used to call him every day." "Always the same voice." "Now he loves to talk." "Go ahead, say something." "Say something!" "Son of a bitch, you're a dead man, man!" "That's him." "Sit your ass down." "That's police brutality," "Man!" "No, brutality is" "What they do to snitches in the badlands." "Other bombers found out, you'd have been a walking corpse." "Carlos was about to share" "Your dirty secret with the whole neighborhood." "You had to shut him up." "Look, I tried to give that fool an out." "But he wouldn't take it." "Little punk" "Thought he was better than me!" "Yeah, thought" "He could ruin your rep."
