"The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event." "In New York City's war on crime, the worst criminal offenders are pursued by the detectives of the Major Case Squad." "These are their stories." "I come from these streets." "This is where it all started for me." "That's why I'm always happy to be back home, baby." "You know, this is it, been flying around the world." "But it's about what's going on right here in these streets, baby." "New York city, that's where I'm from." "The hood." "Yeah!" "You want to do it?" "Boom, boom, boom." "Artists get big these days, and they lose touch with where they're coming from." "You gotta come back and touch these bricks right here, baby." "Keep it really, really real." "You know what I'm saying?" "Yes, I'm talking about charity," "I'm talking about children and every neighborhood." "Your neighborhood." "You feel me?" "Tonight we're doing a little promo." "You know, this new album, this really, honestly is my best album ever." " Everybody ready?" " Yeah!" "So Fulla T, this new CD is definitely a departure." "Yeah, this is definitely a different direction but, you know, Nightshade, I've been in this game a long time." "And I felt like it was time to do something for the community." "'Cause, trust me, baby, it's like, gangsta this, thug that." "It's crazy out here, and it's time to do something to save these babies." "Well, you're definitely doing your thing."

"Shot five times." ".45 caliber shell casings all over the place." "Who's that?" "No ID, won't give us his name." "He was standing over the body with a gun." "Said he didn't kill the guy." "Girlfriend?" "No, that's Norma Robbins, AKA Nightshade." "DJ, she was interviewing Fulla T." "So what's your story?" "It's a dangerous city." "Your sector crew almost blew me away." "Sector crew?"

"So who knew about this project?" "That's very closely held." "There was a detective at the crime scene, Harry Williams." "Said he was part of the hip-hop task force." "There is no hip-hop task force." "He's part of the gang unit, and he's connected." "Use him as a resource." "Actually, he wanted us to kick the whole case back to his unit." "I don't blame him." "You're on his turf." "Major case wasn't my decision." "It was the mayor's." "I hope he made the right call." "Okay, so maybe Fulla T was killed to send the community a message."

"Hmm, those two look very cozy." "Looks like there's been a killing, and she's chilling." "What's up?" "What's up is you lied to me." "You told me you didn't know anyone who was with Fulla T last night." " Nightshade don't snitch." " Well, enlighten us." "Is it snitching to say you know somebody?" "We got you on tape." "It looks like you know the girl pretty well." "If you're worried about what your coworkers are gonna think, don't." "'Cause we're gonna walk out of here all pissed off like you didn't give us what we wanted to know." "Yeah, I met her before." "What's her name?" "Carmen." "Does Carmen have a last name?"

"Don't worry about that." "I know." "You didn't expect me to look like this." "No one ever does." "And that's 'cause people think hip-hop's a color." "It's not." "It's a business."

"I got magazines on my coffee table too." "PBA monthly." "There's a picture of me in it, you know." "Oh, there you are." "It's a good likeness." "Can you read that?" ""Run Records' Tommy Marconi pictured with DJ Bobby Boyd."" "Oh, here he is in Fulla's entourage." "I didn't make the connection." "Tommy, you do a lot of business in this city, right?" "Concerts, private parties, appearances... and you're gonna need all kinds of permits." "So... you're not thinking of hindering our investigation, are you?" "Off the record." "Bobby Boyd, club DJ, works out of the banger bar at st." "Nick's pub." "What can I get for you, detectives?" "We're looking for Bobby Boyd." "We understand he DJs here." "Friendly response, huh?" "There's a friend." "What are you doing coming in here?" "Hey, I'm not a psychic." "I didn't know this was your private club." "Yeah, well, you work undercover, you gotta fit in." "What do you want?" "We're looking for a DJ named Bobby Boyd." "He's not your shooter." "Look, man, I told you!" "I ain't seen nothing, all right?" "Watch your attitude!" "I ain't seen nothing, man." "That's better, and you're lucky." "That's harassment, man." "Pardon me, man." "I'm not having such a good feeling about this guy Williams." "There's a thin line between cops and perps, right?" " Who said that?" " You did." "Yeah, well, he walks right up to that edge." "Yeah, where you at, baby girl?" "1607 Frederick Douglass?" "Apartment what?" "4B?" "I'm gonna head over there right now, baby." "Bobby Boyd?" "Police, with some Fulla T questions." "So that's what you're gonna do now?" "You gonna impede me in the lobby where I live!" "You gonna stand there impeding me?" "Let's talk about this upstairs, Bobby." "No, I want everybody to hear this!" "These cops, they want to ask me questions in my home, man!" "They can get a warrant." "No, no, no, wait." "Bob, Bob, we don't need a warrant." "We just want to talk to you upstairs." "I ain't got nothing to say." "He got nothing to say." "Come on, man." "You know I'm not gonna talk." "You know I'm not gonna talk." "Look, man." "I'm no snitch!" "I'm no snitch, man!" "I swear to you!" "I swear to you, man!" "I'm no snitch!" "I'm no snit..." "Ah, Bobby Boyd." "You think that's our fault?" "For getting here too late?" "Or 'cause people knew we were talking to him?" "What are you supposed to do?" "Not investigate a murder 'cause it's against the gangsta code?" "This whole hip-hop culture, every time we get pulled into it, we get stuck in the crossfire." "These kids deserve better." "Keep asking." "Hey, kids." "Isn't this a school night?" "So, uh, you see what happened here?" "Did you think Bobby could fly?" "Ma'am, he might've been a witness to..." "Another NYPD, "New York police death."" "You know, we didn't do this." "She know if she talk to you, she go off the roof next." "Wheeler." "Bunch of kids?" "Give it up." "They're not gonna say anything." "Across the street." "On the steps." "Of course they kept playing." "It's not their first corpse." "Like my grandma keeps telling me," ""city ain't no place for kids."" ""You ever have kids, bring them back home."" "North Carolina." "One of the girls actually thought we pushed Bobby off the roof." "50 unanswered shots in Queens." "Why wouldn't they think it?" "Remind me whose side you're on." "His killers were already looking for him." "On the tapes, Bobby backed away." "It looked like he was trying to get Fulla to go with him." "Yeah, he was." "I saw the tapes." "Did you recognize anyone?" "Yeah, but it doesn't matter." "I mean, you track them down, then what?" "There was a girl on the tape." "We heard her name was Carmen." "Couldn't make her." "But some of the guys?" "The first SUV... the big guy, Gordon "G-man" Thomas." "Got his nickname from killing a cop down in Baltimore." "And he's still on the street?" "Told the jury it was self-defense." "Then he walked." "Why not?" "Anyone else?" "His sidekick, Luther Pinkston." "Went in for armed robbery a few years ago." "On parole." "Parole agent'll have his address." "I gotta go." " Luther?" " Yeah." "How you doing?" "Hey, man, what do you want?" "This is the family hour." "We just want to look around, ask a couple questions about the night Fulla T was killed." "Yeah, it was a famous event in the history of rap." " You were there." " Yeah, you know?" " I knew where I was and wasn't." " Yeah." "I also know I ain't gotta tell you the difference if you ain't got no search warrant." "That's fair." "So you two are family?" "Yeah, her name is Callie." "And that's the extent of my cooperation." "You gonna get out?" "That's a sweet baby, Callie." "Name's Esau from the Bible." "Right?" "Callie, I look around here." "All I see are perfumes... pink sneakers..." "hair clips... your family picture." "But no Luther." "This is your place." "Luther's just crashing." "That pile of clothes over there, that's his closet?" "If it is your place, you can give us permission to search it." "Okay, but why would she do that?" "'cause we're looking for a gun that's part of a murder investigation." "And we bet that it's here." "With your child." " That better not be true." " It's not, baby." "Oh, that's believable." "Callie, you're a good mother." "I'll bet you made Luther promise no guns." "I did, and he did." "You want us to double check that?" "For Esau's sake?" "There's no guns, right?" "Callie, it's your home." "Your permission." "Go ahead." "Okay, step over there." "Come on, move over there!" "You can't do that." "Those are my garments." "In her home." "That's .45" "Ruger." "Don't tell me, I know." "It's not yours, it's the kid's." "I don't know her." "And I want a lawyer, ho." "Ho?" "Luther, don't act ignorant." " My name is detective Wheeler." " Just get me a lawyer." "What's she doing?" "He asked for a lawyer." "Game over." "Let's give her another minute." "It says here that you're on parole for armed robbery." "So if we charge you with gun possession, that's a violation." "You'll have to go back and serve the remaining six years of your sentence." "I'll do my bid, no problem." "Lawyer." "That worked." "He'll take six years to keep the respect of his community." "The way he's posturing..." "It's not about respect." "I think he's afraid of somebody." "Not us." "Call her off." "Oh, good cop is done." "Now here comes the bad cop." "Yeah, and I got bad news for you." "We're releasing you." "You're free to go." "And the New York city police department would like to thank you for cooperating." "Cooperation?" "I didn't say nothing." "Well, we already have a first name." "So it's just a matter of time." "All right, well, either way, I ain't helping you." "And we didn't throw Bobby Boyd off the roof," " but you know how rumors spread." " Yeah, so if I were you," "I'd give us that last name and address before we start the rumors." "All I knew... all I knew was 138th and Adam Clayton Powell." "By the repair shop." "You don't know her name?" "Oh, I see." "So you're just the driver." "You wait at the corner while the big boys go and play." "And then when they ask you to hold their guns, you do that too." "Her name is Carmen Rivera." "Now shut up, bitch!" "Luther was just a second banana." " No way he killed Fulla T." " I agree." "And he wouldn't have given up Carmen if she could pin anything on him." "She was there." "We need her to tell us what happened." "Why would she?" "'cause she's a woman?" "Lil' Kim, similar situation, she went to jail for perjury." " Wheeler." " Wheeler, it's Williams." "Detective Williams." "Heard Luther's old lady gave him up." "Was he any help?" "He ID'd the woman who was at the scene." "Her name's Carmen Rivera." "We're on our way to question her right now." "All right, um... keep me posted, will you?" "I don't know if telling him about Carmen was such a good idea." "Why?" "He'd seen the tapes." "He knew we picked up Luther." "He's ahead of us anyway." "I'm with Logan." "Until we're sure what team he's on, keep it a one-way street." "Open the door, Carmen!" "Come on, baby, you know what's happened." "Open the door." "I'm not liking this." "I think I'll go around back." "I'm gonna call for backup." "Police!" "Drop the gun." "I said drop the gun!" "G-man, you shoot another cop, this time there won't be a trial." "Heard you almost got hurt playing on a fire escape." " You okay?" " Yeah, well..." "Wheeler was ready to sacrifice me, but it worked out." "Do me a favor, would you, captain?" "Make sure I don't have to talk to any of those counselors." "I'll see what I can do." "And both of you, next time, wait for backup." "Ballistics came back negative on Luther's gun." "They're working on Gordon's now." "Okay, any word on Carmen Rivera?" "She's off the radar." "She could be hiding from us or them." "Background check on the G-man." "Turns out he handled security for one of Fulla T's tours." "Well, let's find out how much Gordon thomas liked his boss." "Logan, you've had enough contact with him for one day." "Wheeler and I will handle this." "Good evening, Mr. Thomas." "Where's your partner?" "He soil his pants?" "That's very clever, Mr. Thomas." "Less clever, that .45" "you pointed at his head." "It's the same caliber that killed Fulla T." "So?" "There's a lot of .45s on the street." "The way NYPD's been playing lately," "I wouldn't leave home without it." "Okay, but right now, before we hear back from ballistics, it's kind of your golden hour." "If the gun were dirty, I'd see your point." "But the gun's clean." "You did point it at a detective." "I didn't know he was a police officer." "He never identified himself." "And I was in fear for my life." "Grand juries understand that these days." "What exactly were you doing on that fire escape?" "Watching the clouds." "It calms me." "You climbed through Carmen Rivera's window to get there." "Speculation." "The two of you were also with Fulla T the night he was murdered." "She told you that?" "We have you on tape." "You're looking at felony murder." "I don't know what you got on tape." "But if you had me shooting," "I doubt we'd be having this conversation." "I loved his music." "But I barely knew the man." "Even though you worked for him?" "Yeah, how'd that go?" "He fire you?" "He's a boss." "Bosses have their ways, don't they?" "Let's go back to Carmen Rivera's apartment." "Why were you there?" "Let's be plain." "Some women like the man who can handle himself." "Not like that punk Fulla." "Look at her, she's getting sweaty already." ""Oh, G-man!"" "That's enough, Mr. Thomas." "Get him back to holding." "She's your shorty?" "Or did I hit a sore spot?" "Actually, you just gave us a motive." "Gordon killed Fulla T... 'cause Fulla T stole his Carmen from him?" "You don't have a motive." "You have a theory." "Remember how that's different?" "We understand, chief." "Good, 'cause what I got is the mayor spitting blood at me." " What about Gordon's gun?" " Waiting for ballistics." "Waiting?" "What kind of an outfit are you running, Danny?" "Don't wait!" "You should be jamming them till you get a report." "I still gotta tell you how to work the system after all these years?" "Well, a call from you might speed things up." "What did you say, detective?" "I'm just saying, chief." "I mean, we all know the politics here." "But we haven't dropped the ball." "You haven't?" "Here's what I think." "Be right, Logan." "Be right." "'cause I'm thinking the worst decision I ever made was letting the mayor kick this to Major case." "I want detective Harry Williams back on this case now." " Chief..." " I don't care about protocol!" "You follow his lead." "Logan for the defense." "I appreciate it, Logan." "Don't do that again." "Worst decision I ever made?" "Probably." "This case... one witness gets killed, another disappears." "Seem like more than a rap rivalry?" "Yeah, well, these entourages... they could be running drugs, they could be running guns." "Who knows?" "But I'll tell you one thing." "Whatever it is," "I got a feeling that our detective Harry is up to his eyeballs in it." "Harry." "Not answering his cell." "Find him." "Can't sleep here, sir." "Way this city's changed, I can't sleep anywhere else." "A box is all my NYPD salary can afford." "Detective Vann, we need to talk to Harry williams." "According to his sergeant, he's supposed to be working with you." "You're Major case." "He told me he was working with you." "He told you that?" "Yeah, last night." "He said he was on loan." "Wouldn't be here today." "You check his house?" "Twice." "You have any idea where we might find him?" "Might wanna try his girlfriend, Patricia." "Bank VP, Metro federal, on 14th street." "A cop dating a banker?" "When her bank was robbed last summer," "Harry was on the investigating team." "Kept checking in on her, you know." "Well, he had to make sure she got over the trauma." "Well, I don't see his picture anywhere." "Do you think he told her he was undercover?" "They started dating in the summer?" "That's too soon for an undercover to reveal his assignment." "That could backfire in too many ways." "Hmm, been there, burned that, huh, Wheeler?" "Detectives..." "I rushed back from lunch when they called me." "What's wrong?" "It's about your boyfriend Harry." "Is he all right?" "You know, I keep telling him undercover's too dangerous, get out of it." "No, no, we're just trying to locate him." "You don't know where he is?" "Well, you know, there's bureaucracy in the department, paperwork gets lost." "That kind of thing." "When's the last time you saw him?" "Last night." "Said he had to clean up some mess Major case made." "You should call them." "We are Major case." "Did he mention anything else about the mess?" "He was on the phone half the night." "Playing the hero." "Any idea who he was rescuing?" "His goddaughter, Carmen." "Carmen Rivera is Harry's goddaughter?" "So he says." "Talks to her every day." "She better be his goddaughter." "Harry!" "You hurting me!" "Look, just get in the car!" "You don't got a choice!" "We asked Williams about Bobby Boyd, the next thing we know, Boyd flies off a roof, and Williams gets there before we do." "I tell him we're on our way to Carmen Rivera's apartment," "Carmen disappears, and Gordon Thomas beats us to her address." "Oh, yeah, and his girlfriend, who knows that he's undercover, says that Carmen is Harry's goddaughter." "So detective Harry Williams has just moved from lead investigator to lead suspect." "I can't wait to tell the chief of Ds." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, I say we kick this whole mess back to the gang unit, huh?" "He's their problem." "I'd rather stay out of it." "Logan, you looking for me?" "You can't think I had anything to do with the Fulla T murder." "Why did you lie to your buddies on the task force?" "And why did you go AWOL for 24 hours?" "Had to take care of some business." "Okay, what business?" "My business." "It's not your business." "Where is Carmen Rivera?" "You know, you're, uh... your goddaughter." "All right, I know her." "Yeah, right." "So let's hear it." "Carmen and I grew up in the projects together." "It wasn't easy for her." "Father gone, mother worked three jobs." "A few years ago, her brother took a bullet to the spine." "Paralyzed him." "To this day, he won't tell us who shot him." "Uh-huh, well... she's a witness to a homicide." "Where is she, Harry?" "I wouldn't tell you if I did know." "NYPD doesn't exactly have a perfect record of protecting witnesses." "What, are you crazy?" "You need to bring her in." "A dozen other people witnessed the shooting." "Lean on them!" "I am leaning on you." "It is your sworn duty as a police officer to bring her in!" "Why are you protecting Fulla T's murderer?" " That's not what's going on." " That's what it looks like!" "Look, I'm trying to keep Carmen alive!" "If NYPD takes her in, she's a dead woman." "If you hide her, it's obstruction of justice." "Is it?" "Does that mean you're gonna go behind my back?" "Report me to IA?" "I don't know." "Do I have to?" "Go ahead and snitch." "One way or another, you always find a way to bring your brother officers down." "Hey, don't push me on that." "Hell, why don't you just shoot me, like you did the other..." "Look, I've had it with you!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" " Where is she?" " Somewhere safe." "Very safe." "Excuse me." "And that was your idea of staying out of it?" "Well, yeah, until he stops holding out on us." "Okay, for what it's worth, the DA has authorized you to pick up Carmen Rivera as a material witness." "Great, does he have any idea of where she is?" "Nope." "Do you?" "Yep, I got a hunch." "And it's a long drive." "Not too sugary for you, detective?" "No, it's just right." "My grandson's gonna be furious." "I told Harry I'd keep Carmen here." "We'll make sure she's okay." "I'm sure you'll try." "Wheeler, we got a long drive." "Would you like some lemonade for the road?" "Uh, no, thanks, ma'am." "That girl's cold as ice." "All the heart's been cried out of her." "She won't tell you anything, detectives." "I know her." "Well, thank you for your help, Mrs. Williams." "Oh, I don't want your thanks." "I want your assurance that nothing's gonna happen to that poor child." "'cause if something does happen to her, her blood is on your hands." "You wanna stop?" "Get some food?" "Carmen, I know you're afraid." "But you don't really wanna see Fulla's killer get away with this, do you?" "How do you know what I want?" "Look, I know we're from different worlds." " And that in your world..." " My world?" "You don't know nothing about my world." "Where you grow up?" "We moved around." "Right. "We."" "You had a mother and a father who loved you." "Who raised you up." "I had... / Showed you a nice place to live, people who have..." " Listen, I had some..." " What you have?" "You got issues?" "Your little howdy doody ass don't know jack about my world." "Where is she?" "I don't need an escort." " Where is she?" " Isn't that what we were asking you?" "You telephone my girlfriend at her workplace." "You take Carmen from my grandmother's." "I mean, what the hell is that?" "You took her out of state when you knew we had a judge's order." "Detective Williams," "I don't care who this woman is or what she means to you." "I don't care about your special status." "One more move, your badge is gone." "She didn't talk, did she?" "Of course not." "But just the fact that you brought her in... you might as well have just signed her death warrant." "Oh, yeah, well, that's all very dramatic." "But the fact is, people keep dying around you, and it's never your fault." "Don't preach, detective." "You want my badge?" "Here." "You can have it." "What do we do about Carmen?" "I hate to say it, but Harry may be right." "If she stays in New York, she either pulls a Lil' Kim, or she's a dead woman." "Let's take her back down to North Carolina." "But first, have her pay respects to Fulla T on her way out of dodge." "What you thought was gonna happen?" "You was gonna bring me up here, and I was gonna lose it?" "Or that I'm gonna get scared, 'cause people seeing me talking to NYPD?" "Take me home." "Who the hell cares about Fulla T?" "I mean, he wasn't nothing but a..." "S, N, I..." " You!" " Get out of here!" "You!" "You!" "You stop that!" " Don't do that!" " Shut up, lady!" "Why would they disrespect him like that?" "That's his shrine!" "Carmen, you're mad at that punk, but Fulla's killer can just walk away?" "Hold on, hold on, hold on." "Hey, we know you're never gonna tell us who killed Fulla T." "But there is one question I'd like you to answer." "What is that?" "Why?" "Why?" "Fulla... he said something." "Said what?" "He said something that somebody thought was disrespectful." "Fulla was disrespectful to you?" "No." "Fulla Treated me special." "Not like Gordon?" "Gordon gets mad real easy." "And then he hits you?" "I don't know, you know." "Sometimes, I, I might have misspoke myself." "But Gordon didn't like that you and Fulla were together?" "We was just hanging out." "We was just a part of the crew." "So you came here, to the station that night?" "Gordon showed up." "And he said Fulla was weak." "And he was a sell-out for saying that we should snitch to the cops." "Yeah, and Fulla didn't take that, did he?" "No." "He said that Gordon wasn't a real man." "He said a real man wouldn't hit a woman." "And then Gordon shot him." "That was it." "Fulla T lost his life over "who's the man"." "I heard Carmen's gonna testify." "I don't see it." "That's right." "I know all about it." "She doesn't have to testify." "You're gonna confess to the murder of Fulla T." " But why would I do that?" " 'cause, no matter what, you're going down." "Why would you want to bring Carmen down with you?" "She's got you, doesn't she?" "What is it with you cops, always trying to save the damned?" "I plead manslaughter." "My bid is eight, and I'm out in five." "And what about Bobby Boyd?" "Did he just fall off the roof?" "Bobby who?" "Manslaughter." "And your girlfriend Carmen is bulletproof." "You have my word." "And we're supposed to trust you?" "I don't care if you do." "But trust this." "I don't get a deal," "I can't control my people." "Her sad life could turn tragic." "It's your call, officers." "He played me." "Come on, he talked a jury out of a cop killing."
