"Mayor Ramon Quintero, Interim Chief of Police William Pope..." "Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson... the Major Crimes Division of the L.A.P.D and several John Does." "Case number 05CC0131, Judge Gerald Blake presiding." "State your appearances for the record." "Peter Goldman appearing for the plaintiff, Your Honor." "Gavin Q. Baker and City Attorney Lee for the defense." "I have read the defense's motion for summary judgment... and the papers filed in opposition." "I think there very well might be some triable Issues of material fact." "GAVIN:" "Yes, Your Honor." "I ask you to look at Page 6 of Mr. Goldman's pleading, where he states:" ""Turell Baylor was murdered by person or persons unknown."" "Defense regards this as an admission against Interest." "If counsel has no idea who killed Mr. Baylor, how do we proceed?" "[CROWD MURMURING]" "Your Honor, Deputy Chief Johnson abandoned Turell Baylor... in gang territory where his fellow Crips were massing to execute him." "Gavin:" "Excuse me, Your Honor." "Chief Johnson dropped Mr. Baylor off at his house, where he requested to go." "It's not the defendant's fault that Baylor lived In gang territory." "Everyone knows Turell Baylor was murdered by members of his own gang." "it everyone knows this, why has counsel submitted no evidence substantiating this?" "Instead, he asks to try his opinion, an Improper use of the justice system... even if one were to accept that in this instance, the Warren Rule did not apply." "The Warren Rule would only apply If Chief Johnson had been negligent." "She wasn't negligent." "She actively facilitated the murder of Turell Baylor." "And this motion for summary judgment Is a feeble excuse... to get that charge to just go away." "GAVIN:" "I congratulate counsel on so swiftly divining both our objective... and the definition of a summary judgment... which is to immediately terminate proceedings In favor of the defendants... and to make these baseless charges, as he puts It, "just go away."" "I notice defendants aren't even waiting .for Your Honor's ruling to go away." "Your Honor, I am saddened to announce that just moments ago... a deputy sheriff was shot and killed." "I hope Your Honor is not offended... understanding that police officers are oftentimes required... to put public safety ahead of personal Interest." "Anything further, Mr. Goldman?" "[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]" "[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER POLICE RADIO]" "[SIREN WAILING]" "GABRIEL:" "Hey, chief." "Two plainclothes deputy sheriffs were driving south on Crenshaw... when one of them recognized a stolen Maserati by Its license plates." "BRENDA:" "Were these vanity plates?" "GABRIEL:" "Doesn't look it to me." "They were following the vehicle when the thieves realized they'd been made." "Thieves?" "That's plural?" "Two guys in the front seats, chief." "Maserati turned into this dead end, did a 180." "Front-seat passenger came out firing, barn, barn, barn... a .45 auto at the sheriff's vehicle... [killing Deputy Brian Rush] who was behind the wheel." "Shooter took off on foot." "The victim's partner, he wasn't hit." "He was able to wrestle the cuffs on the other suspect." "The shooter's already escaped." "Carjacked a woman two blocks away." "Knocked her down pretty hard too." "She's in the hospital, but she'll live" "I put a want out on her car." "It's a Honda." "Make sure the driver of the vehicle Is designated armed and dangerous." "I don't want anyone else walking into an ambush." "If the car is found parked somewhere, It's stake-and-notify." "Thank you." "FLYNN let." "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Wanna meet our newest contender for asshole of the year?" "That's the other car thief?" "He looks 15." "FLYNN:" "We ID'd him from his cell phone." "Kyle Hayes, age 22." "Got one prior for breaking and entering." "Kyle's just made an aggressive leap forward in his criminal career." "Chief Johnson, Deputy Mike Burton." "Deputy, I'm so sorry about your partner." " You need a minute?" " No, let's go." "How can I help?" "Y'all were a long way from West Hollywood." "Brian and I had been looking for a missing witness In a trial." "We were headed to Boyle Heights following a tip." "He recognized the plates of a Maserati ahead of us as belonging to a stolen car." "Recognized the plates how?" "Was there a special alert out on the Maserati?" "No, no." "The, uh..." "The Sheriff's Office has a Special Problems Unit... part of a joint task force with the FBI... looking for a ring of car thieves targeting a bunch of high-end vehicles." "They put out a list of plates once a month." "So you found the car, started following It." " Why didn't you radio for backup?" " It happened so fast." "We saw the car, changed lanes, turned .the corner, and were short-stopped." " They must have flagged us somehow." " Ahem." "Chief." "BREN DA:" "Uh..." "Pardon me, deputy." "The sheriff understands it's our case now." "POPE:" "I say take the suspect we have to an interview room... .and convince him to give up the shooter before he kills again." "Tao, I want you to personally pull all prints from that Maserati." "See if we can identify the killer." "Buzz, gather all security video... from businesses between here and the carjacking." "A picture of the shooter would be nice." "Thank you." "And, commander, please keep Deputy Burton close at hand." "Sheriff's protocol is Burton goes back to his home department... exchanges his gun, and gets his rep." "I understand, but when we find the killer..." "I may need Burton's help identifying him." "Provenza, I'd like you to supervise the search for the escape vehicle." "Thank you." "Meanwhile, I'll work with the suspect we do have." "[DOOR OPENS]" "Thank you." "You can leave us alone." "[SNIFFS]" "You and I both know you don't have to speak." "But I've been at this job a while." "Met a lot of young boys who got into trouble..." "I just from hanging around with the wrong crowd." "Does that describe you?" "Or are you a cop-killer?" "I've got the chief's interview up recording for you." "Oh, thanks." "I ask if you're a cop-killer because unless we find your accomplice...1 the DA will charge you as one." " I never even pulled my gun." " Under California law... you're as responsible for the death of Rush as your friend." "Now, I don't wanna charge you, Kyle, but I have to follow the law." "If you follow it with me, I can help you out of this mess." "Give me the name of the man who was In that car with you, and I can save you." "[SIGHS]" "Now listen to me, Kyle." "If I find the man who shot the deputy without your help... you're gonna spend the rest of your life on death row." "You've made a lot of bad choices today." "Don't let this be one of them." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Yes." "Yes." "[WHISPERS Chief, I've ID'd some prints." "Be back in a minute, Kyle." "You'd better hope I still need your help." "[IN NORMAL VOICE] I pulled 12 prints off the Maserati." "Three belonged to the owner, two to Hayes... leaving seven prints that match up with three other known criminals." " Three other known criminals?" " Mm." "For heaven's sakes, how many people does it take to steal a car these days?" "Deputy Burton said that there were just two people In that Maserati." "I have some mug shots." "Now, one of them might match up to a picture I found on Kyle's cell phone." "David Cobb." "Now, his prints were In the car." "This picture is low-resolution." "I could bump up the contrast ratio, but..." "Lieutenant, please, just give me the mug shots." "I need to show them to the suspect." "[SIGHS]" " We're getting closer." " Ah." "Thank you." "If Kyle sees how far along we are, maybe he'll get us the rest of the way home." "TAO:" "Mm." "[PANTS]" "[WHISPERS] He's got a gun." "[WHISPERING] .Call SWAT." "Tao." "[GUN COCKS IN SLOW MOTION]" "Monitor." "Monitor." "[IN NORMAL VOICE] Kyle, there are cameras in there." "I'm watching you." "I'm watching you right now." "I can see you." "[SOBBING]" "I want you to put that gun on the table and step to the far corner of the room." "Kyle, put the gun on the table and step to the far corner of the room now." "Oh, man." "What a totally screwed-up day." "This bullet was meant for you." "Kyle?" "Kyle?" "[GUNSHOT]" "Kyle!" "This was not your fault." "If Burton didn't find the gun when he cuffed Hayes... our patrol officers should have when they took custody..." " ...or when they brought him in here." " No." "It was my responsibility... to make sure Kyle was properly searched... before he entered the interview room." "[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]" "And it's an in-custody death, so FID has every right to be here." "[PHONE RINGING]" " Chief Johnson." "PROVENZA [OVER PHONE]:" "Provenza." "Listen, patrol found the Honda." "It's at 8th and Alameda." "Now, we can sit on it, but I am certain that the killer dumped It and..." "No." "Tao has prints from multiple suspects... to check against whatever's inside the vehicle." "Please hold off on that search until he gets there." "Eighth and Alameda." "Is the other guy talking?" "You could say he invoked his right to remain silent." "Uh, Tao will explain when he gets there." "Chief, I can't leave until FID interviews me." "No." "This is a time-sensitive situation." "They're just gonna have to wait." "Provenza is at this address with the Honda the killer used to escape." "Take the prints you pulled off .the Maserati this morning." "Check them against what's inside that vehicle." "Get me a positive ID on the shooter, That's an order, lieutenant." "Okay, Buzz." "Thank you for saving my life." "Now, let's see if you can act." "[SIGHS]" "POPE:" "Sorry about all this." " Uh, how are you doing?" " I've had easier mornings." "Cheer up." "A cop-killer just shot himself." "So one down, one to go." "POPE:" "About this suicide." "I tried to talk her out of it, but Raydor Insists on speaking with you..." " ...before you resume the investigation." " I expected to be questioned." " At least it was just Buzz and me here." "POPE:" "Right." " Yes, excellent work, Buzz." " Thank you, sir." " Thank you." "BRENDA [ON SCREEN]:" "Kyle?" "HAYES [ON SCREEN]:" "This bullet was meant for you." "BREN DA." "Kyle?" "Kyle?" "[HAYES PANTING ON SCREEN]" "[GUNSHOT ON SCREEN]" "Thank you." "Are you okay?" "Uh..." "Uh, I think so, yes." "From what I just saw, you nearly died." "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Okay." "Who else in your division was with you?" "As you could see from the recording, I was alone." "Someone knocked on the door to your interview room and pulled you out." "BUZZ:" "I did that, captain." "Chief Johnson didn't have her earwig with her... and I had breaking information from Provenza." "Would you mind leaving us alone, please?" "Thank you." "You know it's always risky to leave a suspect alone In an Interview room." "I know procedure wasn't properly followed... and it's a bad day to have it happen." "I wish I'd done better... but I'm looking for someone who's a lot worse than me." "And I'm just asking for this day to see if I can find him." "Just this day." "That's all I'm asking." "I can absolutely do that." "I've got 72 hours to file this report." "So I will just resume this part of the Investigation after that." "In the meantime, I will interview every single officer... who had charge of that suspect between the crime scene and your room." "Where can I find the deputy sheriff that took Mr. Hayes into custody?" "Commander Taylor is keeping track of him." "Okay." "Thank you, captain." "Thanks." "Okay." "PROVENZA:" "They'll make a new rule for searching suspects." "I promise you they'll make a new rule." "If people are getting into the building with guns, there should be a new rule." "Radial arch with a delta." "Nine ridges." "Huh." "It's David Cobb." "I have pictures of him right here." "His last known address is 544 South Berendo." " I'll call for the warrant." " Don't need a warrant." "This is fresh pursuit." "Sanchez, come with me." "Call SIS." "I want undercover units in a three-block radius around Cobb's house." "You guys take these photos of our suspect, walk around." "See if somebody can identify him." "If he's still in the vicinity' or If he comes back again..." " Well, come on." " Be careful." "Let's split up." "Ho." "None of my people have seen him either." "Okay, and you know that without even asking them?" "It's the same guy the other cop was looking for an hour ago." " Carjacked an old lady's Honda, yes?" " Walt, wait." "This other cop give you his card or his name?" "But now that you ask, he wasn't a cop." " He was a sheriff's deputy." " Thank you." "TAYLOR:" "Yeah, all right." "We'll, uh-We'll sort It out." "Thank you." " Deputy Burton is missing?" " Chief, I did just like you asked." "I told the Sheriff's Office to have Burton call us... when he finished giving his statement." "And now..." "But now we can't find him, can we?" " They." " No, you." "You, commander." "I asked you to keep an eye on him." "Now we have no idea where Burton is or what he's doing." "The Sheriff's Department is putting a hundred people on the street to find him." "This will work out." "I promise." "We cleared the houses next to the Cobb residence and across the street." "Okay." "Everyone ready?" "Okay, take the back." "You stay with Detective Sanchez, you stay with me." "All right." "Be careful." "Heads up, now." "Set?" "Julio." "Go" "Stay where you are!" "Don't move!" "Hands behind your head." "PROVENZA:" "Get your hands above your head." "Above your head!" "Clear." "It's not what it looks like." "Better not be." " Read him his rights, Julio." " You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law." "You have the right to an attorney." "If you cannot afford one... one will be appointed to you by the state." "The gun used to kill Deputy Rush was the same one used on David Cobb." " And Deputy Burton's weapon?" " Not fired." "Well, that doesn't mean anything." "He could have shot Cobb .with Cobb's own gun." "So you didn't give the suspect the gun he shot himself with, did you?" "Gavin, that's not funny." "Hmm." "You know what else isn't funny?" "You having another in-custody death without Informing your attorney." " Baylor was not an in-custody death." " That's not what Goldman Is saying." "Thirty minutes ago, he demanded a continuance... based on relevant new information which he possessed and I did not." "Goldman knows about this already?" "How?" "From the leak in the division which you refuse to believe exists." "Oh, my God." "I was on the verge of having this entire case thrown out." "Now it's up in the air." " Where's Captain Raydor?" " She's back In her office." "Why?" "I have to talk to her before another lawsuit is filed against you... by the family of your newest dead suspect." "If you could afford it, I could drop everyone else and defend you for a living." "You know that man was going to kill me?" "Maybe he thought he'd end up representing you in court." "It's natural causes." "You're using up all your nine lives." "You know that, don't you?" "Deputy Burton said that the stolen Maserati... had something to do with a Special Problems Unit." "Some kind of joint task force between the Sheriff's Office and the FBI." "It's a special problem, all right." "Come here." "Take a look." "Got a flag on your stolen Maserati this morning." "BREN DA:" "Oh." " There's a ring of high-tech car thieves." " Is this gang-related?" "This is a professional organization run by a competent and disciplined adult." "Okay, 35 vehicles stolen during the first week of every month." "Probably has to do with a shipping schedule." "Here's the theory." "Two thieves steal a car." "Use a computer to generate a counterfeit electronic key." "Drive to a spot where they can disconnect the vehicle recovery system." "Watch it for a while." "When they're sure they haven't been followed... two middlemen come in with fake customs documents." "They drive the stolen car somewhere near the port to be sent overseas." "Two thieves steal a car, I two other guys ship It off." "Explains why there were four sets of prints In the Maserati this morning." "And Deputy Burton and Rush." "Were either of them part of this Special Problems Unit?" "No, but they both applied to Join several times... and several times were told they lacked seniority." "Now, why were they both so determined to be part of this Investigation?" "Because the Sheriff's Office and the FBI weren't getting anywhere." "Kept arresting guys in the act of stealing the cars." "You have a problem with Interrupting property theft?" "If you're looking for the guy in charge, do." "You pick up a couple of low-level guys, what do you have?" "Little fish who won't say who they work for." "Who lawyer up, spend a little time In county while we learn nothing." "Brian and I had another idea." "BRENDA:" "I can't think why the Sheriff's Office didn't hand over the Investigation to you... considering how brilliantly you do your job." "Like the man you searched .when you arrested him." " That was remarkable." "Just great." " Look, I'm sorry I missed the gun." "My adrenaline was pumping." "My partner was dead." "That deputy just took responsibility for not searching his suspect this morning." "Should we run off a copy of this interview for Gavin to show the judge?" "Yeah, when we're done here." "With information that you did not share that was containing the damage?" " Hear me out." "Then tell me I was wrong." "BRENDA:" "We'll listen." "But bear in mind, my concern here is murder, not stolen cars." "Look." "Brian and I, we were just hunting for a chance to make our mark." "We kept looking at the Special Problems Unit reports." "They didn't seem any closer to catching the big fish, the guy In charge." "So the last few months, whenever we could make the time... we staked out a parking structure on Santa Monica Boulevard." "And last week we got lucky." "Watched a couple guys on laptops create a key for a Maserati and drive off." "Stayed with them all the way to a lot at 8th and Alameda." "And we sat on that car till this morning." "Why didn't you call for backup?" "We couldn't control the bureaucratic response." "If the Special Problems Unit massed, the parking lot would be burnt." "Not to mention you'd have to share credit for your big Idea." "Did you ever see anyone surveilling the parking lot?" " No." " Did anyone ever see you?" "No, but we did spot a lot of other cars being dropped off." "That lot is filled with stolen vehicles." "All right, then." "So two guys came to pick up the stolen Maserati this morning." "They weren't the little fish who'd stolen the car." "These were middlemen at least." "Coming to drive the Maserati off to be shipped somewhere." "They parked the vehicle they came in up the street... walked to the Maserati, and drove off In It toward the port." "We followed at a good distance for 10 minutes, thinking our plan worked." "We had a couple higher-ups... and were minutes away from finding out where these cars were being loaded up.." "Then for some reason, the guys In the Maserati made a sharp turn." "Some kind of counter surveillance move, I guess." "We went after them and..." "Your plan worked so well that your partner was shot to death." "Okay, so tell us, how did you end up at the killer's house?" "BRENDA:" "Wait a minute." "When those guys picked up the Maserati, they left their vehicle behind." "So when I was with you at the crime scene... you knew that the killer would be trying to get back to his car." " Is that right?" " I thought maybe, yeah." "Cobb's car was gone when I got there." "I ran his plates, which we'd written down." "I had his DMV photo faxed to me." "Checked with businesses to see if he was in the neighborhood." "I drove to his house, went in the back." "Cobb was already dead." "I was..." "I was about to clear the house and call my office when your guys..." "So after your partner, your partner, was shot dead..." " ...you kept on playing super cop?" " I was following the lead." "Right over the line that we are never, ever supposed to cross." "The justice system works pretty well... until someone starts thinking they're smarter than the Sheriff's Office... the FBI and the entire L.A.P.D. combined." "You see what happens when you throw away the rule book, deputy?" " People die." " I'm sorry" "You think she's conscious of what she's saying?" "Somebody may wanna play this part of the interview for her... when she gets home tonight." "BURTON [ON MONITOR]:" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry. 1 really am." "But you have the parking lot." "The middlemen are moving the vehicles to the port today." "They may have paused to see what we would do." "But if they haven't abandoned the place?" "Killing Cobb was the big fish trying to contain his own situation." "He has a schedule to keep and lots of other cars to move." "We made mistakes." "But we did not burn the lot." "Okay." "So if the parking lot is good, the question Is what do we do with It?" "Brenda, listen to me." "If this ends up taking a while... you'll want to head to the courtroom and hear the judge rule on your motion." " Oh, she'll go." "I promise you." " Thank you." "Fine, but remember, we're not just rounding up thieves." "These are murderers too." "And someone is watching this place." "Just because Burton never figured out who, doesn't mean they aren't here." "I'm not interested in catching little fish and letting the shark swim away." " Now, where have I heard that before?" "Just be careful." "Gentlemen." " Tao, 11 o'clock." " Hmm?" " Yeah." "TAO:" "Here." "Psst," " Wow." "TAO:" "Hey, he:;" "I" "Uh, what's this?" "Here we go." "Chief, we have an Aston Martin, license plate 3YTKII8." "GABRI EL:" "Okay, let's see here." "We got a winner." "Stolen five days ago In Beverly Hills." " Good luck, guys." " Copy that." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "[ENGINE STARTS]" "TAO:" "We'll let them lead from behind till we get on the freeway." "Remember, do not take any unnecessary risks with these people." "Consider them armed and extremely dangerous." "I" "TAO [OVER RADIO]:" "Fellas, we're gonna do a little trade, let them pass." "And here we are, coming up to the port." "Keep your weapons handy." "Here we go." "Copy that." "FLYNN:" "Here we go, chief." "[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)" "FLYNN:" "Freeze!" "Right there." "Hands up." " Put your hands behind you." "SANCHEZ:" "Face the car." "Hands behind your head." "Face the car." "Call, call, call." "[CELL PHONE RINGS]" " Hello?" " Hey." "We're all safe here with two fresh suspects." "Plus the loading site and customs documents." "Wait, hold on." "Here's Flynn on speaker." "Okay, chief, the stolen cars are headed for Argentina." "Being shipped inside containers that arrived here filled with beef." "Refrigerated shipping." "Perfect way to get cars with built-in computers out of the country." " Did you say Argentina?" "FRITZ:" "Yeah, yeah." "It's an enormous break for the case, but there's still no sign of the big fish." "You and Gabriel sit tight." "You're likely to spot more middlemen... because I'm looking at a bunch of empty containers here." "Odds are more cars are gonna be leaving the lot." "[SIREN WAILING]" "We'll wait for them here and follow up with the two suspects we apprehended" "Uh, hold on just a second." "Buzz, do an Internet search on the word recoleta." "See if it has some kind of special connection to Argentina." "In Spanish, recoleta means "calm."" "But it's also the name of a neighborhood In Buenos Aires." "Urn, honey... while you're finishing up, uh, with those people..." " ...would you do me a favor?" " A favor?" "In about two minutes, could you give the suspects their phone calls?" "If I give the suspects their phone calls... they might alert the big fish." "BRENDA:" "That's what I'm counting on." " I have to hang up now." " Yeah, well..." "[DIAL TONE DRONES]" "Okay, Buzz, would you please call for backup?" "And, David, let's be careful here." "I want to scare this guy, not start a shooting match." "Oh, I'm with you on that." "Hey, guys, hold on a second." "These dirtbags have to make some calls." "[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]" "We're closed." "Dinner starts at 5:30." " It's all right." "I'm not hungry, really." "It's you again." "Did you find your fugitive?" "No, but actually, we think he may still be in the area." "I'll be on my guard, then." "I Thank you for stopping by." "[CELL PHONE RINGS]" "Excuse me." "[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]" "Huh?" "[CONTINUES SPEAKING IN SPANISH]" "[PHONE RINGS]" "Recoleta." "[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]" "Sorry." "You have a moment to answer a few questions?" "Sure." "I'm always happy to help the police." "Let me, uh..." "Let me put this in my office." "I'll be back in five, okay?" "I'll wait here." "Okay." "Sir, I've had a terrible day." "Lm anxious, I'm stressed, and a little shaky." "RIOS Aah." "If you don't drop your gun right now, I'm gonna put a bullet through your head." "Are we clear?" " Thank you." " Why'" "Why are you arresting me?" "Because shooting you would get us in a lot of trouble." "Mateo Rios, you have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can be used against you In a court of law." "You have the right to an attorney." "BAILIFF:" "Please be seated." "BLAKE:" "The Family of Turell Baylor... v. The City of Los Angeles, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson et al." "We're back on the record." "Before my ruling, I'd like it known... that whatever crimes Mr. Baylor may have committed... he was entitled to be tried in a court, not the streets of L.A." "Mr. Goldman... the lack of evidence supporting the central thesis behind your pleading leaves me no choice but to grant the defense... its motion for summary judgment." "Case dismissed." "[SOBS]" "GAVIH:" "Oh." " I told you I'd win." " You might have told me how." "Well, then you would have told the leak, and then where would we be?" "Mm." "I still cannot believe that it's all over." "Don't worry." "We'll have another crisis soon enough." "And I'll lead us all through that one too." "That's just what I was about to say." "Thank you for showing us the way." " Everyone, to Gavin." " Oh, yes." " Oh, thank you." " To Gavin." "[BRENDA CHUCKLES]" "[ALL CHATTERING]" "Congratulations, chief." "Listen, I just wanna thank you for... standing by me." "I know it hasn't been easy." "Chief, if our job was easy, no one would put up with either one of us." "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "You're no more difficult than I am." "I mean that as a compliment." "Well, thank you, Sharon." "I'm very grateful to you." "I really am." "You're welcome." "BRENDA:" "Will." "What's the matter?" " Something wrong?" " I'm not sure." "But I need you to talk to someone without losing your temper." "You think you can do that?" "Well, I can't promise anything, but I'll try." "Who Is it?" "Congratulations, Chief Johnson." "Be sure you get more information out of him than he gets from us." "Okay?" "Okay." "You have two minutes." "I'm timing you." "Hope you don't mind my crashing your victory party." "Not at all." "Gives me a chance to say my final goodbye." "I look forward to never seeing you again." "Maybe I'm born to disappoint you." "Why do you say that?" "Because after losing In the State of California today..." "I filed a new case on the federal level." " You did?" " I did." "And this lawsuit isn't going to be focusing entirely... [on Turell Baylor's death] as shameful as that was." "No." "It also concerns the son of a Russian crime boss... who was working as an FBI informant... and who died the same night you revealed that cooperation to his father's lawyer." "Oh, did I mention that he'd just been released from your custody?" "And then there was the child molester... who you threatened to put into general population after he confessed." "Mr. Stimple." "Hanged himself, Again, In-custody." "It's an unfortunate trend with you, actually... because a short time afterwards... you arrested a police officer from Tijuana under a false name... who was then murdered in jail." "It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me." "Then there was the suicide In your Interview room today." "Not to mention how you continually harass my colleague, Phillip Stroh.." "Calling his clients, bad-mouthing him to other law enforcement agencies." "Phillip Stroh raped and murdered a girl the night before her 30th birthday." "Prove it in a court of law." "That's the problem with you, frankly." "What one knows and what one can prove are two different things." "You don't seem to get that." "So you represent a man who confessed to murdering prostitutes... a child molester, a police officer who worked with the drug cartel... a rapist and a cop-killer." "That's a pretty impressive list to add to the saintly Turell Baylor." "And together they all add up to a past practice and pattern... of denying suspects their constitutional privilege to a fair trial." "That is a civil rights violation for which you, the L.A.P.D... and the City of Los Angeles are going to pay dearly." "My two minutes are up." "Besides, I have a very large .discovery motion to file." "Wait, wait, wait, Mr. Goldman." "Do you have some personal vendetta against me?" "I mean, have I ever done anything to you or someone you love?" "No." "In fact, I'm reasonably sure we have almost never crossed paths." "But that's mainly because I'm the conscience of the justice system... which, as far as you're concerned, makes me nearly a perfect stranger." "But don't worry... by the time I'm done, we're gonna know each other very well." "Because it's my intention, Chief Johnson... to put an end to you and all your works." "Sync  Corrected by Shadowmoon"
