"Yeah, we picked up a suspect" "Who says you pay him to tag this neighborhood." "He said I what?" "Look, these punks drive down property values." "Now I don't know" "How familiar you are with the concept of profit," "But the higher the property values, the more money I make." "So when this tagger picks you out of a photo array..." "Probably saw my face on a bus stop bench." "Yet another form of graffiti." "Is it true you tried to evict miss ellison from her home?" "I had a buyer for that property."

"I'm a reporter." "I-I'm doing a local profile series for the "detroit post." why sally?" "'cause it's a great story-- you know, a squatter trying" "To reclaim a deteriorating neighborhood, you know?" "I-I started interviewing her" "And tracking her progress with the house and..." "God." "And then you know, uh, she started spewing..." "This gunk." ""gunk"?" "Let's try to be a tad more specific, okay?" "Conspiracy stuff, man." "Okay, she thoughsomeone was using the gangs and the taggers" "To force people out of their homes" "You know, corporate developers or something." "I don't know, man." "You know, she said she had proof," "But I never saw any of it." "Who knew you were working on this?" "No one." "No one?" "You know, just--just my editors." "you wanna tell me about that truck?"

"I'm working a homicide here," "And I just picked you up at the victim's truck." "I bought that truck on the street for $500." "That's impossible." "I mean, you're too stupid to count to 500." "Ouch." "Look, I know you didn't do this alone." "Give us your partner," "And maybe I'll talk about trying to get you a deal." "Take it up with my lawyer." "Okay." "I really hope that lottery ticket hits for you." "I really do." "Because one lawyer is not gonna be enough to help you." "Sit tight." "This guy's not gonna move." "We're on the clock."

"Let's hope we can find one in here." "This reporter zagorski sounds like he might know somethin'" "Or he was about to know somethin'," "Until sally got killed." "It's a detour, guys." "I mean, forced entry, signs of damage," "A history of conflict with the local vandals." "I don't see any reason why we should think thiss" "More than what it seems." "Well, what about this realtor--bregman?" "yeah, I mean, he was paying a tagger" "To deface the whole neighborhood." "That's a crooked way" "Of devaluing property so you can flip them." "It's not murder." "If we're focusing on some low-level crook," "We're thinking way too small here." "Well, the bank isn't exactly a good suspect," "And the realtor was a dead end." "Everything's a dead end until you find a way through it." "When you hear hoofbeats, you look for horses, okay?" "I let you guys go off and chase unicorns." "That was my bad." "Look, but let's just get this solved and move on." "She was a nobody, shot at point-blank range" "A little woman in a little house." "Mean..." "In what world does a killing like that make sense?"

"Three years ago," "He bought up a whole bunch of properties on the riverfront." "They're about to break ground on this huge project."

"You got it." "And one more thing" "Malloy owns the "detroit post."" "henry malloy?" "The henry malloy?" "He's been buying up houses like it's a fire sale" "In that part of town." "So you guys think that he was" "Trying to harass sally out of her house?" "We have a strong suspicion." "We know that malloy's holding company" "Ed bregman to buy other properties in the past." "Come on." "That doesn't make him a killer." "No, it doesn't." "Malloy owns half of detroit, man." "Look, he's done a lot of really good things" "To help keep this town afloat." "Yeah, he's a very big fish, and this is a very big story," "And maybe it's a little too much for you to handle." "I didn't say that." "Did I say that?" "No, I didn't." "I didn't say that at all." "What, you need something more to go on?" "Yeah, I need something." "This is strictly confidential, okay?" "I'm breaking protocol showing you this." "What is it?" "This is the official d.P.D. Report on bregman." "He cops to what we're talking about it, and he names malloy." "He does?" "Yes." "Don't look at it here." "Okay." "Take a look." "Think it over."

"All right." "I'll, um, I'll be in touch." "Be careful with that." "Yeah." "*" "D.P.D. Report?" "Bregman didn't admit to those things." "Well, just because he didn't admit it," "It doesn't mean he didn't do it." "So what's that report you gave him?" "It's a work of fiction..." "For now." "Great." "and don't worry." "That story's never gonna run." "This is the car daniel and his son were gonna buy." "What 16-year-old boy wouldn't want one of these?" "An '86 firebird trans am?"

"This ballistics report just came in." "It seems your gun" "Matches the weapon" "Used to kill sally ellison." "Does it?" "You killed a squatter in an old house." "Seems like a random killing." "Of course, I've been at this long enough" "To know there's no such thing as a random killing." "Isn't there?" "Sally ellison's murder" "Was clinical, unemotional, and impersonal." "There was no signature." "There was no ego." "There was no apparent motive." "It was passionless..." "Like a business transaction." "Now I see that," "And the only thing that makes any sense to me at all" "Is that this killing was done for money." "Did you kill her for money?" "Did you kill her for money, mr." "Landry?" "Were you working for henry malloy?" "Was I?" "And sally ellison..." "Wasn't the first, was she?" "This guy must play poker." "I'm guessing he wins a lot." "How about this?"

"...Think that we're expendable," "That they can just come in and take our land for profit." "Send in all their little-- little criminals" "To try to frighten us, little lowlife gang members" "And--and tes to try and scare us off." "So what do you wanna do about it?" "I want to catch the coward behind the killer." "And you think that's henry malloy?" "This tape goes to motive." "The question is, who wanted to clear out brush park so badly" "They were willing to hire a hit man to murder this woman?" "Malloy's been eating up areas all over town." "And cleaning them up, which in many ways," "Is a positive thing for this city." "Not if this is the way he does it." "I can't pursue a case based on the rantings" "Of some kooky squatter." "Kooky murdered squatter." "Well, our shooter did give indication" "That he was being employed malloy." "Detective, we have limited resources." "Until you've got more evidence, I'd rather start making a case" "Against landry on multiple counts of murder" "Than tilting after windmills." "You heard what she said, right?" "Yeah, malloy's too big for her." "She doesn't have the balls to go after him." "No, she's saying she needs something more concrete." "Get her that," "And I promise, she'll take it as far as she can." "How's your gut?" "My gut's fine." "I heard you chased down landry." "I'm sure you weren't scared," "But if you were, it's okay." "You're supposed to be scared." "If we're lucky, it'll keep you alive." "Sir, do you have a reservation?" "I'm a guest of henry malloy." "...So the car is-- is rolled down the hill," "And I'm in the backseat, right?" "And she's..." "screaming her head off." "Who's sally ellison?" "Who is sally ellison?" "Sit down." "Have a martini." "it's too dirty for me." "Would you like to speak in private?" "Here." "Let me give you my card, and-- I know what happened." "I know what you did." "What's one small death when you're building an empire?" "look out there" "Schools, libraries." "I've helped put up more than you can count." "I've donated wings to hospitals, made safer parks for kids," "Yet you have the audacity to walk in here," "Disturb my evening with your naive theories?" "Okay, I'll take that to mean you did know who she was." "I won't stop." "Okay?" "I don't care what the record says." "To me, the case is open." "You think you know me." "I know you." "I know what happened in new york." "I know what brought you to our fair city all those years ago." "If you really knew what happened in new york," "You'd be crapping in your pants right now."
