"Mm, would that include how you let two members of this crew go in and out of the back without giving chase?" "Yes." "I can explain that also, lieutenant." "Go, then, before F.I.D. Kicks us out." "All right." "These five guys..." "the two dead on the ground, the one in the squad car who gave up, and the two that got away... they've been robbing grocery stores for," "I don't know, eight months, and..." "and detective Miller just now, today, asked us to follow the driver." "Calling himself Donny..." "probably an alias." "Yeah, as maybe..." "maybe... a suspect." "Flynn:" "Well, what'd you think they were up to when they rolled into the parking lot?" "Not this." "I mean, when they got out of their vehicles with guns and masks, we knew what was gonna happen, but..." "They had M-4s." "We didn't want to stress them with civilians around." "Then why call for backup?" "We didn't." "Someone inside the store pulled the silent alarm." "Nothing she could do about that." "Yeah, but when you found out two guys had gone in and out through the back, why didn't you go after them?" "We killed suspects, and force investigation division said we had to wait here for our interviews." "Captain Raydor and her crazy ideas." "Anyhow, here I am." "Still waiting to get my statement!" "Isn't it nuts?" "So, assistant chief Taylor, instead of chasing after heavily armed suspects, she was frozen here because of..." "Taylor:" "This is F.I.D.'S scene." "We have officer-involved shootings." "Well, I have shots fired, too." "And from fully automatic weapons, sir." "Oh." "Now it is a public-safety issue." "Now, do you want us to go find these two missing suspects..." "Or not?" "And... and where is Raydor, by the way?" "She'll be here in a little bit." "How can I help?" "The suspect who gave up is sitting in that patrol car over there." "If we can move him downtown right now... the suspect stays there until force investigation takes him." "That's the policy." "Look, we're not starting the clock over on major crimes just to give people new reasons to sue us." "We have to keep making real changes." ""Changes"?" "What... what changes?" "I've got things running great." "Talk to the suspect here." "I'll see if I can move F.I.D. Along." "Come on." "Sykes." "Miller." "Come with us." "Hold on." "Something wrong, julio?" "Maybe." "Provenza:" "All right, buzz." "What haven't I seen?" "The feed from the two security cameras inside the store and the video off the patrol cars." "Well, make sure that you get copies of all that stuff from F.I.D." "And don't come back here with a bunch of excuses." "Yes, sir." "Sykes, who's our suspect?" "Sykes:" "Not sure." "All their prints are in AFIS, but the feds have a flag on their names." "Provenza:" "All right, Mike." "You ask our friendly FBI liaison what these flags are about." "We have got to know who these people are." "Lieutenant, I've spent most of the year chasing these guys..." "I understand, Miller, but it's our case now." "All right, Flynn." "Hey." "I'm Andy."

"Because you surrendered your weapon and gave up, I don't want to charge you for murder if I don't have to." "What?" "No." "The police killed... look, look, look... you guys killed people... not us." "Hold on." "Listen to me." "We were never supposed to kill anyone!" "Listen to me!" "Listen to me!" "Now, in the commission of a felony, if anyone dies, even though the police shot them, technically that's murder." "And those murders are on you." "Look, I can help you." "'Cause if we talk to the D.A. Right now, and you tell him your name and the names of all your friends, especially the ones that got away, he'll make a deal to arrest you just for the robberies." "But we have to hurry because you're going down to booking any second, and this is gonna be all out of my hands." "Let me arrest you for robbery..." "And not murder." "Let me make you a deal." "What do you say?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Okay." "Yeah, good." "I'm gonna go get the D.A. Now." "Okay." "He's ready to make a deal." "But he knows me, and he knows Sykes."

"Provenza:" "The point is, agent Howard, our suspects have fully automatic weapons, which is a federal crime, too." "And since we can't get AFIS to release their names..." "Their prints became classified when you ran the guns." "How come?" "I'm guessing the guns were taken from a military base." "This gang, they're veterans." "What makes you think these guys are soldiers?" "Well, they took the store down fast, targeted unoccupied vehicles." "They didn't kill or wound anyone, and 30 minutes later, one of them circled back and shot our suspect in the head with a handgun from over a block away." "Who can do that?" "Every male member of my family served this country in uniform." "My father, my son, and myself." "Chief Taylor comes from a military family." "Yeah, well, you may be shocked to hear that sometimes husbands kill their wives, and priests don't always make great babysitters." "Come on, Miller, what business are you in?" "Flynn:" "All right, look, if our dead guys are really veterans, opening their military files will help us find their heavily armed friends." "All right, give me a minute." "Provenza:" "Come on." "Come on." "Get it all out, Miller." "What else is bothering you?" "A lot of what happened today doesn't fit this crew's M.O." "They split up to enter the store... never did that before." "They hit a place with a silent alarm... never did that before." "I just thought these guys were smarter than this." "If they were really smart, they would have quit before we got here." "Flynn!" "Oh, captain." "You need anything?" "Lieutenant, sorry to be running so behind." "Could you bring me up to speed?" "Hold on." "Flynn." "Flynn." "Let's make sure all the paperwork is in order so that when agent Howard I.D.S our victims, we can serve those search warrants right away." "Uh, I'm sorry, captain." "I don't..." "I don't owe you a briefing." "Technically, the kid was in F.I.D.'S custody, not ours." "And as you can see, we're in a bit of a hurry around here." "Provenza." "Captain Raydor was transferred from force investigation division to major crimes, making her your ranking officer." "Effective immediately." "And I need a briefing." "Uh, okay." "Okay, I'll give you a briefing." "You're late." "And you may be the ranking officer, but I am the incident commander." "And I am not halting a search for suspects with automatic weapons so you or anybody else can catch up." "Flynn, Sanchez." "Lieutenant." "Uh, there..." "there's a couple of things [chuckling] You don't seem to understand." "One is that I am the incident commander, and the other is English, because I've said it twice." "Agent Howard, um, if you would like to represent the FBI, we'll be getting our warrants en route." "I will cayou, captain, after I've made my arrests." "Miller?" "I may have questions." "[ Exhales sharply ]" "I told you we should've waited." "No." "This is the moment." "Wasn't until we started cleaning the store, we even knew the other two suspects had been there.Tore and by that time..." "They were gone." "Lieutenant provenza was mad that we didn't chase after them, but I felt it was more important that we stick with procedure and remain at the scene of our action." "Which was the right thing to do, of course." "Major crimes has a history of ignoring I.A.P.D. Policy and leaving others to deal with the consequences." "[ Police radio chatter ]" "Rusty."

"I helped you guys catch a serial killer so that you would find my mom... not just dump me into the system." "I mean, you want to know why people don't like the police?" "It's because you're all a bunch of liars." "That's why." "Okay." "[ Clears throat ] Um..." "Um..." "Right." "Rusty..."

"What kind of name is "buzz," anyway?" "You mean compared to "rusty"?" "Sykes?" "Sykes." "What are you doing here?" "I asked for her help catching up with your investigation, seeing as she was available and you were quite rightly focused on finding our shooter." "How'd you do?" "Unfortunately, we still don't know who we're looking for." "But we did identify all of the... well, I guess now they're victims, and we collected some useful stuff from their apartment."

"Permanently." "Detective Miller..." "These men seem to have become expert at both choosing their targets and evading capture." "That's right." "They always pick cash-heavy stores." "We tried predicting where they would go, but whenever we were sitting on them, they were somewhere else." "Well, can you explain why two of these men made a clean getaway, then circled back to shoot one of their own in the back of the head?" "Well, according to lieutenant Flynn, corporal Martin was about to talk." "Maybe his surviving partners thought he was a weak link." "So all of our men were veterans in their mid to late 20s."

"They're not related, they're not from the same towns." "What else?" "They're not listed as members of any veterans organizations, no criminal records." "Sanchez:" "No land lines in their apartments, no cellphones." "They have Internet connections and game consoles but no computers, so we don't know how they communicated with each other, ma'am." "But the military angle has got to have something to do with it." "Hey, I'm a veteran." "Sorry to interrupt, but I served in Afghanistan in '03, and one place veterans meet up with each other... firing ranges." "Right?" "'Cause shooting well is not like riding a bike."

"Unless?" "That handgun was a .40-caliber semi?" "Right." "You have it with you?" "Patrol wrapped it up before I had a chance to..." "Inspect it properly."

"This is the user list for gun heaven." "Now, it's broken down alphabetically, so I can't tell when people were there or who they were there with." "These men have to have other connections besides firing ranges and online games." "They became close enough to form a mob." "That did not happen at gun heaven."

"And I have to tell you, captain, in the custody of any other police department in this country," "Larry would have been taken someplace safe and allowed to confess, which he was ready to do." "But because of some bullshit regulation that you put into place at F.I.D., some stupid policy that when shots are fired, suspects must remain at a crime scene," "Larry Martin got his head shot off!" "And every single problem that we're having in this investigation... especially not knowing who the hell we're looking for... every problem we're having is because of you." "Andy..." "You are right about that." "The I.A.P.D. Is the only police department in this country that would have held Larry Martin on site for questioning." "Yeah?" "Yeah."

"[ Folder rustles ]" "When you think about it, these young men seem to know quite a lot about the I.A.P.D.'S investigation."

"Let me try and explain from my view as a D.A." "It's great that you're able to match the gun to the crime scene." "But you have not put the suspect there." "And outside of a list of over 20,000 customers of a very successful firing range, you haven't even linked the suspect to any other member of this gang." "What about the $200,000 we found at Greg Miller's house?" "It's not traceable to any of the robberies." "Now, don't misunderstand me."

"Does that mean better than when you came back from Afghanistan addicted to meth?" "Fritz:" "At lieutenant Provenza's suggestion, the FBI followed up with the families of all these other young men you claim not to know." "And last November, every one of them was parked with you in a 30-bed drug-treatment center in studio city specializing in veterans." "Placing my client at a rehab is not the same as putting him at a crime scene." "Okay." "But..." "Suppose while he was coming off of drugs, your client became close to a group of at-risk veterans, and suppose that he talked them into pulling a series of armed robberies, taking full advantage of everything he could learn" "as the son of an I.A.P.D.

"That would explain why he broke from his M.O. Yesterday, why he split them up, why he sent them into a store with a silent alarm." "He was trying to get them killed." "And when that proved only partially successful, he came back around to the crime scene and shot Larry Martin in the back of the head." "No." "No, no, no." "That was not me!" "Banks:" "Shut up!"

"You were aiming at the vehicle." "No." "We were aimiaway from the police." "We had no idea Larry was in the back of that car." "And when we saw what happened, when Randall realized he'd shot Larry..." "He looked at me..." "And before I could stop him, he blew his brains out." "Banks:" "Look, we had a group of boys who were having a problem readjusting to civilian life." "Is that a tragedy?" "Yes." "Is it premeditated murder?" "Hardly." "Without intent, it's manslaughter." "Thewas intent, sir." "And you can prove that how?" "When you fire a Smith  Wesson .40 caliber..." "Handgun..." "The kickback lifts your hands up in the air, like this... bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Which means you have to readjust the gun after every shot in order to keep striking the same target." "Isn't that right, soldier?" "[ Clip clicks ]" "You hit the patrol car every time you fired at it." "You were aiming." "And aiming equals intent." "That would not be..." "Conclusive."

"Refuse, and you have accepted a process that will only end with your execution by lethal injection."

"And getting off scot-free for the murders he committed himself." "[ Chuckles ]" "But I guess that's all right because you saved the city a lot of money." "I bet you're really happy about that, huh?" "I put a murderer away for life in less than 48 hours, which is not the usual routine around here." "So, yes..." "I feel excellent." "Thank you for asking." "So, we've been doing it all wrong, is that it?" "When suspects agree to a deal, like Greg Miller just did, they surrender all rights to appeal." "We've locked them up, we've thrown away the key, we move on." "With people like Amy Sykes?" "Ye gods!" "As difficult as this may be for you to understand," "I need at least one person working here who actually likes me." "Sykes doesn't like you." "She's just pretending to like you to get the job." "Still..." "Oh." "Am I, uh, interrupting something?" "No, no, no, no." "We are finished." "Aren't we finished..." "Lieutenant?" "Yeah." "I guess we'll see." "[ Clears throat ]" "Oh." "I don't even know why she wants this stuff." "[ Bag closes ]" "Good job today." "You too." "Oh." "Brenda's been asking if you put any more thought into what to do about rusty." "Don't think I'm gonna be all, like, thankful for..." "You taking me in." "Sharon:" "Oh, trust me." "You're not the first adolescent to grace my home with your presence." "Having raised two teenagers of my own," "I have tremendous capacity for ingratitude." "Rusty..." "It's so funny." "Just when you get good at being a mother, you're fired." "Or you quit." "So, what are we supposed to call each other, anyway?" "Oh." "I think you should call me..." "Captain Raydor." "Okay." "And you can call me Mr. Beck." "You are the child in this relationship." "No, I am the witness." "If you are the police officer, then I am the witness." "There are not a lot of people around here who call me by my first name." "Oh, well, maybe that's why you live alone with a spare bedroom." "I live alone because my children are grown." "Spare bedroom is for when they visit." "But you may call me Sharon." "How's that?" ""Sharon"?" "Mm-hmm." "What, is that like your bad idea of a joke or something?" "Why do you say that?" "Sharon is my mother's name." "Oh." "God, you haven't been looking for her at all, have you?" "Rusty, I just got this job yesterday." "Give me a chance to catch up." "I am making a good-faith effort." "I am." "Where's your bathroom?" "It's right down there." "Rusty." "If it is possible to find your mother," "I will do it." "I promise you." "Sure you will, captain." "Sure you will." "[ sighs ]"
