"Superintendent Colvin , you're touting the changes that you've implemented since you took over the department, and comparing crime statistics with those of your predecessor." "Well, the fact is, we're making progress." "I mean, the murder rate alone is down double digits." "All right, let's, uh, let's go to line seven." "We're gonna say hi to anonymous." "Ooh, wow, that's scary." "Okay, you're on with police superintendent Teresa Colvin." "Yeah, Mancow." "I been listening to this for the last hour." "Everything she said is wrong." "Things are not getting better, they're getting worse." "Mostly for the coppers out there that have to work for this woman." "I know, 'cause I'm one of them." "So you're a Chicago police officer?" "15 years." "So I've heard all this nonsense before." "You want to talk about the murder rate?" "Sure, it's down." "Are shootings?" "Hell, no." "We're just better at keeping them alive after they get shot." "Look, we don't know how many nonfatal shootings there used to be because the city didn't..." "Mancow, she came in talking about how tight she was with the mayor, how things were gonna change this time." "And eight months later, what?" "Some of our best commanders benched, hiring freeze still in place, now she just cut our overtime, which means coppers..." "The only commanders demoted were those who were not getting the job done." "It's called accountability." "And I'm trying to bring it to the department." "All right, guys, I-I'm sorry." "I can't have you talking at once." "Can't have you talking at once." "Thank you." "Okay." "Go ahead, anonymous." "Like I said, some of our best commanders been benched, hiring freeze still in place, and now without any overtime, coppers are being told not to make arrests the last two hours of their shifts." "Who's that make safer?" "I'd like to answer his accusations, if I may." "I would love you to answer his accusations, but we got to take a quick break." "We're gonna be right back after this." "This is the Mancow radio experience." "I want the name of that officer." "You need to take a look at this." "I have to go." "What?" "Wait." "Guys, we got another segment to do." "I'm sorry." "You're gonna let that guy get the last word?" "He's wrong." "You tell your audience that." "Great." "Now, we got to be fair, Susan." "She claims she was called away on city business." "Whatever." "She's just another appointed bureaucrat who refuses to take responsibility." "Turn it off." "On a crisp winter day in 1929, killers disguised as policemen gunned down six gangsters and an optician in a Lincoln park garage." "It was Valentine's day." "The message was clear:" "Al Capone was in charge and had earned his place as public enemy number one." "The person in my job at the time, William F. Russell, did what any good Chicago cop would do:" "He declared a war of his own." "Less than a year later, losing that war, he lost his job." "Just what I need today." "Well, I'm glad I could serve it up." "Did you, uh, find out who Joe anonymous is yet?" "You heard the show?" "Everybody heard the show?" "Great." "We know who these guys were?" "Reservation's under the name Paul Howland." "He's the guy with his face in the carrot cake." "The hostess says he's a regular." "She doesn't know who the others are, though." "Afternoon." "So, we got three male blacks in ski masks walk in at lunch rush, open fire on the table, and leave through the kitchen." "This can't happen here." "Superintendent." "Mayor's office." "Tell them I'll update them when I get more information." "It's not them, it's him." "It's Mayor McGuiness." "Solve this." "Mr. mayor..." "This was supposed to be a simple photo op." "Music program for at-risk youth." "Usually, we got to beg these reporters to show up for something like this." "Not today, huh?" "I'm sorry about the timing of all this." "Yeah, broad daylight." "Lincoln park." "Tell me at least you have a lead, some kind of line on these murderers." "I have my best detectives on it." "We will scare up some suspects." "Oh, come on, Colvin." "You know that's not good enough." "Well, today might be a good day to announce you've approved my request for 200 new officers." "Oh, seriously?" "You're going to use this to squeeze me to hire new personnel?" "It could be a bone to throw to the press until we catch these shooters." "A bone?" "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!" "Musical program for at-risk youth!" "Here they are." "These kids right here." "Thank you." "Look at that hat." "Come on." "Look at that hat." "Mayor mcguiness!" "The murders today in Lincoln park, do you have any comment?" "A heinous and cowardly act, and the city is obviously doing everything in its power to find those responsible." "Mr. mayor, you ran your election on a platform of reducing violence." "I stand on my record." "Murders are down in Chicago." "We've all seen the numbers your office puts out, but today an anonymous police officer alleged that shootings are actually up." "Yes, and I'm sure that if superintendent Colvin wasn't urgently needed somewhere else, she would have refuted those claims on the air." "Mr. mayor, these murders took place two blocks from the site of the St. Valentine's day massacre." "Is this the start of a new crime wave in Chicago?" "Chicago is safer than it's ever been." "And to make it even safer, today I'm announcing the hiring of 200 additional police officers to help keep our streets safe." "Mayor mcguiness, more people have been killed in the streets of Chicago in the last year than American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq combined." "That don't sound right." "Mayor, should they really believe that 200 officers are going to make a difference?" "Uh, ask her." "Excuse me?" "My job as mayor is to provide her with the resources she needs to get the job done." "Whatever she requires, she's gotten." "Now it's her turn." "And if she can't get the job done, let me promise you," "I will find someone who can." "Are you saying that there is an ultimatum to solve this case?" "I'm going to turn her over to you." "You can ask her about today's incident." "I'm done talking about it." "♪ Who's gonna hear your cry?" "♪" "♪ when there's more of them than there are of you ♪" "♪ who's gonna hear your cry?" "♪" "♪ when the hard winds come and it takes your breath?" "♪" "♪ who's gonna hear your voice ♪" "♪ when violent men want to cut you down ♪" "♪ and the sun is gone in the dead of night in this town ♪" "♪ who's gonna hear your cry?" "♪" "here you go." "It's not cold." "It doesn't matter." "All right." "I'll speak to you later." "So, something kind of interesting." "The reservation was for seven." "Only five guys showed up." "So the other two fellas are really lucky." "Or they're really guilty." "Hey, listen." "You hear about the mayor and the superintendent this morning?" "Yeah." "I heard." "Yeah." "All right, so out of the guys that did show up for lunch, we got Paul Howland." "He was the founder of the feast." "Owned a liquor store on North Lamon." "Yeah." "Hendricks, Martin." "Martin Hendricks, yeah." "43." "He had the Cobb salad with the dressing on the side." "Uh, he had a second-hand appliance shop over on west huron." "All right." "Reynolds and Maynard, they both owned convenience stores, yeah?" "Yeah." "Tanis?" "Tanis had a pawn shop on Walton." "On Walton." "That's right." "All within eight blocks of each other in the hood." "Yeah, but they weren't in the hood." "Well, maybe the hood came to them." "I'll do some background on those owners, then." "Go and see if Hammond's got any vendors in common with the victims, all right?" "Yeah." "What did he want, Lenny?" "Union reps show up, they want to make all my dreams come true." "Is that right?" "Yeah." "He talk to you?" "No." "I must have actually been doing some work." "Probably knows that you and the Superintendent are close." "He wants to have a straw poll of the house." "For what?" "The fraternal order of Police want to have a vote of no-confidence against the boss lady." "I will find someone who can." "The mayor has hung her up on meat hooks." "Well, she's pissed off a lot of people." "Yeah, the right people, Lenny." "That's what I told DiBiasi." "I'm behind her 100%." "You're one of the good guys, Lenny." "Hey." "Uncle Jarek." "I got a question." "You're not on the street today?" "No." "I got that deposition for that stupid lawsuit against Isaac and the city." "Seems like all you need these days is a crayon and a piece of toilet paper to sue the police." "What's up?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Well, what do you know about this lawyer woman that's grilling us?" "Who?" "Uh, Anna chase." "Ooh." "She's sued me a bunch of times." "Make sure you disinfect the room when she leaves." "Heads up." "She is a serious snake in the grass." "Okay." "Hey, has your union rep contacted you today?" "No." "Yeah, well, they're gonna, okay?" "They're gonna ask you what you feel about the superintendent." "What are you going to say?" "That Teresa Colvin's the best thing to happen to this department since the Wysockis." "Exactly." "Yeah." "Make sure you let your partner know to say the same thing, minus his usual mustard." "You got it." "Hey, wish me luck." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Evers." "Hey." "So, it turns out, all five dead owners did have one vendor in common." "O.G. Security." "And I found one of the guys who skipped lunch." "Let's ride." "All right." "Yeah, I was invited to that lunch." "I never said that I'd show, though." "Thank God I didn't." "What was that meeting about?" "Paul had this idea that if we store owners showed a united front, we could tell Wayne Luckett to stuff it." "Wayne Luckett?" "Yeah." "He runs the two corner hustlers." "And, let me guess, owns o.G. Security?" "Yeah." "They're the kind of security you pay to stay away." "So the hustlers were running a shakedown business disguised as a security firm." "While that crime was going on..." "So someone must have tipped Luckett off that the payments were stopping." "Paul did." "Fool." "Said he already told Luckett's kid that we weren't paying." "His kid?" "Yeah." "I guess he told the kid to tell his pop that it was over and that he knew that Luckett couldn't get to us." "Well, I guess he bet wrong." "Wayne Luckett, runs the two corner hustlers." "He's the one that ordered the hit." "Why are you here telling me, instead of picking him up?" "Because we already have him in Cook County, awaiting trial on another matter." "Still doesn't tell me why you're here." "To get you." "I mean, hear me out, okay?" "Seriously." "I think you should march Wayne Luckett out in cuffs, right in front of the same reporters who crucified you earlier, just in time for the fop vote." "The vote is strictly ceremonial." "Yeah." "Alderman Smith on line four." "Tell him I'll call him back." "But if it goes against you, the mayor's got the cover to can you." "Look, the only thing I can control is doing my job." "Doing your job... and ray, ray, correct me if I'm wrong here... doing your job is why they're taking the vote in the first place." "You have made a lot of enemies, Teresa, shaking things up." "The mayor has challenged you publicly, okay?" "You got to knock this on the head." "You got to take it straight back at him." "You got to win the respect of the police." "You do that, the reps have got no choice how to vote." "Ray, call over to cook county jail, and tell them we're going to visit Wayne Luckett." "Yeah, let's go get him." "You caught us just in time." "We were about to transport Luckett ourselves." "Transport him?" "I thought he was here awaiting trial." "Yeah." "I don't think that trial's going to be happening." "He was lifting weights in the yard." "Just dropped." "Doc says it was an aneurysm." "He's more brain dead now than he was when he came in." "When did this happen?" "Three days ago." "Well, obviously, Luckett didn't give the order." "No one mentioned the person we wanted to see was brain dead?" "I never asked about his condition." "It's my mistake." "But Luckett said the store's owner told the kid that he wasn't going to pay him anymore." "Maybe he took matters into his own hands." "Then prove it." "I want the man who ordered it." "I want the shooters, everyone." "Superintendent, do you really believe that a man in a coma is the mastermind behind all these killings?" "Do you have any comment?" "Moose says the hustlers are laying low since the murders." "Nobody knows where Dion's hiding." "Now get your stuff." "We're gonna take a ride, shake some trees." "I can do better than that." "Cook county faxed over their inmate visitor's log." "Dion visited his old man before he dropped?" "Not even once, but Dion's sister, Bernadette, did." "29, no record." "Could be she was passing messages from the father to the son." "Maybe she knows where he's hiding." "She got a job?" "Works at the county courthouse." "Clerks for judge Walker." "Emile Walker?" "Yeah." "Oh, man, he's no friend of the police." "Quite the opposite." "This could be fun." "Yo, DiBiasi, do me a favor, man." "Stop poisoning the minds of these Chicago police officers and crawl back under whatever cave you came out of." "And why don't you, Wysocki, let someone else have an opinion besides yours, huh?" "You know, Keefer, you were here before Colvin and Rye." "You should know better, and if you don't, educate yourself, buddy." "You're starting to sound like the fool that he is." "Some of us think we can do better than her." "Well, then some of you should park my car, man." "Oh, hey, whoa, whoa." "No, no, on second thought, you know, I'll park my own car." "You know, if I had my choice of cases like you do," "I might think different, too." "But then again, I never had the chance to bang boots with her like you did when you were partners, right?" "No, no, it's cool, it's cool." "No, it's fine, it's fine." "How was the super?" "Super?" "You shouldn't have done that." "You shouldn't have done that." "Come on..." "I got a memory." "I got a memory." "You're done, Keefer." "Get a job." "You wanted to know the name of that anonymous caller?" "You have it?" "Well, I got it narrowed down." "You know, a couple of things the guy said on that radio show." "Being on the force for 15 years." "Commanders who've been benched." "But before I make any direct inquiries, may I make a suggestion?" "Mm." "Tell me not to." "Beg your pardon?" "Well, as soon as I start asking questions, people are gonna know." "Look, I'm not gonna punish him." "I just want to speak to the man." "You sure you don't want to pick a fight?" "'Cause that's what people are going to think." "And someone in your position taking on a beat copper can only diminish you." "And, uh, this office." "How many cops do you think he speaks for?" "Not half." "Why don't I pick a fight with someone who does?" "Let's get Walt Kirby," "President of the Fraternal Order of Police, down here." "Isaac Joiner, Vonda Wysocki?" "Yeah." "Kent Eschelman, city attorney's office." "Sorry I'm late." "Traffic was terrible." "Uh, is that good?" "Oh, it's great." "Why do you think I had her meet us down here?" "Make her drive two hours out of her way to this crap part of town." "We need every advantage we can get." "Who are you talking about?" "Anna Chase." "The anaconda." "She's the bloodsucker representing the guy who's suing us." "Now, when you meet her, don't be nervous." "She can smell fear." "Kent, you're here." "Terrific." "We can get started." "I brought donuts, if anyone is so inclined." "Love that tie." "You must be officer Joiner and officer Wysocki." "It's so nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "Open up!" "Police!" "Just a minute." "Take care of her." "Drop it!" "It's a tv remote!" "Drop it before I put a bullet in your ass." "All right!" "Okay, stay back, ma'am..." "Get her out of here." "Don't hurt him!" "He'll be fine." "What did you do to my wife?" "Shut up, get on the wall." "Jenny?" "What did you do to my wife?" "!" "Nothing." "Shut up." "Huh?" "Huh?" "I told you to shut up, didn't I?" "Huh?" "Didn't I tell you?" "Hold on." "That's not how it happened!" "Kent, I thought we were clear about the ground rules." "Mr. Molaro would tell his version of the events, and then, officer Joiner would be allowed to give his." "His version's a bunch of crap!" "That's what happened." "You're telling me I'm the one that gave your old lady a black eye?" "Sit down." "Your neighbors called us because they heard you beating on her, you lying son of a bitch." "We have a temper, do we, officer Joiner?" "I don't have a temper, all right?" "Sit down." "The president of the FOP is here." "Thank you for coming." "I can't say I was surprised to get your call." "Why are you doing this?" "That guy who called in the radio show speaks for most of us." "We got no faith in you." "You've had eight months, nothing's changed..." "I am fighting with the city council and the mayor's office every day to get everything this department needs." "Every day I get better at fighting." "You're gonna start over with someone new?" "Look, a lot of coppers just plain don't like you." "Why?" "Because I'm a woman, or because I got the position too quickly?" "My members want a vote." "And who gets to speak for me?" "What do you mean?" "Most of the reps voting have never even met me." "Let me speak to them at the meeting before the vote." "I got no problem with a woman being top cop, but if the rank and file don't want you, if the mayor doesn't want you..." "Let me talk to them." "So you gonna say anything about this superintendent thing or what?" "You want me to share my feelings?" "That's a first." "I'm serious." "When DiBiasi comes a-knocking, what are you gonna say?" "Still thinking about it." "So, what, you don't think she's up to the job?" "No, but if she's lost the backing of the mayor, she's not going to be able to get the resources that we need, or if, uh, morale's gonna become a problem..." "Whoa!" "Get out." "What?" "Yeah, that badge works on the bus." "Use it." "Get out." "You didn't let me finish." "What I was going to say was that if those things were gonna be a problem, they'd need to be fixed." "She's definitely the person to fix those problems." "She's got my vote." "I think that's her there." "Uh, Ms. Prentiss?" "Hi." "Are you the officers who called up from the lobby?" "Yeah, we are." "I'm detective Wysocki, and this is detective Evers." "Hi." "So, did you need to talk to judge Walker?" "No, we actually wanted to talk to you." "Is here a good place, or...?" "I-I don't understand." "Did my father's condition change?" "This isn't about your father." "We're trying to locate your brother, Dion." "Dion." "What has he done this time?" "We think he may have ordered the deaths of five people today." "That thing up in Lincoln park?" "Yeah." "No." "No, not Dion." "That's crazy." "We hear he's running the two corner hustlers now that your father's Out of the picture." "Please." "Only thing I suspect Dion is running is his mouth." "Thank you." "Well, how can we find him, Ms. Prentiss?" "It's been years since I've had anything to do with that side of the family." "Well, can I ask why you visit your father in prison?" "Because he was my father, and it was the christian thing to do." "Doesn't mean that I agreed with the choices he made." "I really got to get back to court, okay?" "Well, Ms. Prentiss, if you happen to come across your brother before we do, have him turn himself in." "It's the safest thing you can do." "Okay." "Thank you." "Thanks." "So, what do you think?" "I don't know if she's lying to protect him, or because she thinks he's innocent, but she knows where he is." "Yeah, so how do we get him before she tips him off?" "I think I know someone who can help." "I got a message said you called?" "Yeah." "Just, uh, wanted to make sure we're square." "Excuse me." "Is this two months worth?" "Yeah, which, um..." "Which makes me current." "Yeah, except it don't." "You this late, you got to pay interest." "Police!" "Police!" "Show me see your hands!" "Don't!" "Don't run!" "Don't run!" "Move!" "Stop!" "Get out of the way." "Stop!" "Move!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Don't be dumb, dude." "Don't be dumb." "It's done." "It's done." "It's done..." "Let me go." "It's always the same, huh?" "You're always gonna run." "Spread 'em..." "What's this?" "Huh?" "You know, it's illegal for a convicted felon to wear body armor?" "Man, it is your unlucky day, huh?" "Oh, yeah." "What's going on, Dion, huh?" "You're making your own collections now?" "You haven't got any lieutenants, none of your guys, your crew, to do it for you?" "Why the kevlar t-shirt, Dion?" "It's a fashion statement." "Are you sure no one's gunning for you, nobody wants to put a bullet in your head?" "Streets ain't safe, that's all." "Yeah, not in Lincoln park, they're not." "Don't know nothing about that." "Sure, you don't." "So what you're actually telling us then is that you're not in charge of the two corner hustlers no more?" "Yeah, they my crew." "Oh, they're your crew?" "Yeah." "They my crew." "I've been running the business while my pop's in the joint." "You can ask him." "What do you mean?" "You ask him, he'll tell you that Lincoln park thing's got nothing whatsoever to do with us, not whatsoever." "Dion, your pops had a brain aneurysm in the joint." "Okay." "What's that?" "Means his body's alive, but he's never gonna be able to think or speak again." "He's a vegetable." "All right." "Okay." "Um, I'm gonna have to t..." "Got to call my sister." "Bernadette already knows, Dion." "Bernadette's known for three days, since it happened." "We're not the only ones who didn't know Wayne Luckett's brain-dead." "Well, the sister's right." "The clown's not running anything except errands." "Yeah, he may be dumb, but his instincts are kicking in." "He doesn't know who ordered the hit, but he's afraid he might be next, so he's vesting up." "Your witness claimed one of the dead men told Luckett's kid they wouldn't be paying." "What if it's not this kid?" "Luckett's only got one son." "Yes." "But he's got a daughter who visited him regularly in lockup." "Bernadette?" "No." "The guy said Luckett's kid was a him." "Well, maybe that's just because he assumed that a woman couldn't possibly be in charge of a well-armed group of men." "What do you think?" "Bernadette's... well, she's a lot smarter than he is." "Maybe we can get the dumb one to lead us to the ringleader." "Well, he might not know who ordered the hit, but he's got to have some idea who the shooters are." "You want to put a bug in his ear?" "He's gonna feel betrayed when I tell him the shooters were taking their orders from his little sister rather than him." "All right, let's kick him to the curb, follow him, see who he pitches a fit to." "Sounds like a Jarek Wysocki plan." "Neighbor reports husband's armed with a handgun." "Six prior calls to this address." "Who is it?" "It's police." "Open the door, ma'am?" "Where's your husband?" "He's in here." "Where's the gun?" "There's no gun in here." "Don't play with us." "If he has a gun, you better say something." "There's no gun!" "You're sure about that?" "Show me your hands!" "Show me your hands!" "Stay with her." "Yeah." "Mrs. Molaro..." "Drop the stuff." "Keep your hands where I can see them." "Stand up." "That bitch is lying." "Lying about what?" "I didn't say anything." "Stand up." "Go to hell." "I said, "stand up."" "Get your damn hands off me!" "You're under arrest for domestic battery." "Let me go or I'll kill you!" "You okay?" "Yes." "Let me go!" "I didn't touch her." "Let me go!" "Went down just like we wrote it up." "Officer Joiner, would you say your recollection of the events are as fresh today as they were the night you made your report?" "Yeah." "I remember it perfectly." "So there should be no discrepancies between today's testimony and that of you or your partner's report?" "No." "Why?" "I have to tinkle." "20-minute break, and then we'll call in officer Wysocki?" "Fine." "What does she mean "discrepancies"?" "This guy beats on his wife, then tries to get the city to pay him for the privilege." "Makes me sick." "There's no way they settle with him." "Yeah, I know, but to even put us through this." "You know, we could be on the streets, getting things done." "Let's just get through the day." "And I'll help you forget about it tonight." "Okay?" "Officer Wysocki?" "We're ready for you now." "Right this way." "Pull over there." "Always the top floor, these guys." "Open up!" "Open the damn door!" "All right, all units, move in." "All units, move in." "Let's go." "Ram up, ram up." "Ram up, ram up." "This is not how it's going to be." "I run this." "I do." "You think, 'cause I turn my back for one second, you can start taking orders from her?" "I told you fools to stand down before you shot that spot up." "It was my call, not hers." "Well, she just told us..." "Shut up!" "That enough, pc?" "Let's do it." "Damn, ain't no more loyalty?" "Police!" "Get down!" "Nobody move!" "Nobody move!" "Keep your hands up on the wall." "All units, slow it down." "We have the offenders in custody." "We picked up an arsenal in the raid." "We got the crime lab rushing ballistics." "We're going to tie 'em to the restaurant guns before the vote." "Any of them smart enough to ask for a lawyer?" "Why would they?" "They didn't do anything." "Which one of them do you think will flip first?" "Flip on who?" "Bernadette or the other two?" "You found something?" "We did." "Yeah, we started going over old criminal cases." "I flagged at least seven instances of witnesses who were got to in cases involving Wayne Luckett's gang." "She's been providing her crew with insider info to get them off." "She ordered the hit." "She must have." "Okay, you can put her in a sweet little dress, but underneath it all, she is still a straight up gangster, just like her old man." "Now, the real question is, do you want to call the reporters, or do you want me to?" "There's not going to be any press conference." "Not yet." "No." "We are running out of time before..." "Look, if Bernadette knows we have her shooters in custody, it takes away our element of surprise with her." "I don't want just the trigger men." "I want her." "You will get her, okay?" "I will get these losers to point their three beefy fingers at her." "But you need to announce you got the shooters while the "no confidence" vote is still in play." "No announcements." "Not yet." "Kid, give us a minute." "Yep." "Okay." "Tell me, why am I fighting harder to save your job than you?" "I don't know, but I'm touched." "It's not a joke." "Okay, that vote is going to go against you, and that mayor is going to use it to get rid of you." "And that's a fact." " And you don't want that to happen?" " No, I don't." "All right, fine." "You want me to say it?" "I will say it." "I respect what you're doing in the job." "I do." "Thank you." "And please, please do me a favor." "Let's declare victory before the FOP meeting." "Look, I want my job." "But I want justice here, too." "We can have both." "Great." "Justice first, and then my job." "All right, fine." "Who is it?" "It's police." "Open the door, ma'am?" "Where's your husband?" "He's in here." "Where's the gun?" "There's no gun, I swear." "Don't play with us." "If he has a gun, you better say something." "There's no gun!" "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Show me your hands." "Stay with her." "Yep." "Okay, Mrs. Molaro." "Do you need to go to a hospital?" "No, I just want you people..." "Mrs. Molaro, I understand that you're scared, but we're not going to get out of here." "Why can't you just leave?" "Because you're a victim of domestic abuse, and if you don't press charges against your husband, then I will." "Please ju-just go." "Do you understand?" "Stay right there." "Stay right there." "Isaac?" "Let me go." "Hey, you okay?" "Yeah." "Let me go." "I didn't touch her!" "So you didn't actually see the altercation which resulted in Mr. Molaro's injuries?" "He was resisting arrest." "Were you in the room at the time of the assault?" "I was in the room next to him." "The door was open." "I could hear the whole thing." "But you didn't see it." "I was there." "I could feel the whole thing happening." "So you can feel events, even though you don't see them?" "I didn't realize you were blessed with such skills." "Tell me, officer, can you feel what I'm thinking right now?" "Feels to me like you're a smug bitch." "Officer..." "For the record, she's half right." "Officer Wysocki, how long have you been involved with officer Joiner?" "How long have we been partners?" "No." "Sexually." "If you are sleeping with him, it would make it more likely that you would lie to protect him." "I don't have to answer that." "Very disturbing." "I thought you should know right away, judge." "If there's a leak in your courtroom, there's..." "Bernadette Prentiss has clerked for me for almost ten years, so, yes, I find this very disturbing, that the superintendent of police... arguably the most powerful woman in Chicago... would drag me here with nothing more" "than conjecture and innuendo, accusing a woman I know to be a dedicated civil servant of what amounts to murder?" "!" "I am notifying you as a courtesy." "And slandering my courtroom as a clearinghouse for confidential information to known gang members." "This isn't about you." "No." "This is about you." "The rank and file want you gone." "The mayor has abandoned you, and you're looking for a way to rally the troops." "It's no secret I don't coddle the police or their cowboy behavior in my courtroom." "You throw a little dirt on me, that'll make you look real good for the boys in blue, right?" "I think you have a leak in your courtroom." "You might want to look into it." "Any luck?" "My guy clammed up as soon as I mentioned Bernadette's name." "Yeah, the other two aren't going to rat her out, either." "At least not in the next few hours." "What about Dion?" "We got him in lockup." "Still, blood may be thicker than water, but it runs a lot hotter, too." "Dion doesn't even know that his sister's running the show." "Yeah, maybe." "But he might know something and just not know he knows something." "He is that stupid." "Uh, yeah, Dion Luckett." "We got him in holding." "Have him brought up to interrogation." "What?" "No." "No, no, no, no, no." "Who-who approved that?" "Oh..." "Luckett's been processed." "They didn't even make him post bail." "Judge Walker?" "Yeah." "Where are we going?" "We're going to arrest him again." "On what charges?" "Think of something." "Dion!" "The hell are you doing here?" "I'm getting your ass out of here before you say anything else." "Let's go." "I ain't going nowhere with you, bitch." "Don't talk to me like that!" "What is wrong with you, huh?" "Hey!" "Break it... break it up!" "Get her out of here." "Back it up!" "You don't talk to me like that." "How you like a battery charge?" "I'll take that." "Get off me!" "You're through, Dion!" "You're finished!" "All right." "Huh?" "Come on." "It's over." "Get him down to holding." "There we go." "I want to see my brother." "He's being processed, ma'am." "No." "Judge Walker ordered him released." "That was before we re-arrested him for battery." "Look, I struck him first." "If you're gonna be arresting anyone, it should be me." "Oh, I intend to." "And your precious judge Walker's not gonna be able to do anything about it." "You ordered the deaths of those five men." "You were lending material support to a criminal organization, using the infrastructure of my city to do it." "That is all ending." "No." "See, what's ending is you and me having this conversation." "You sit down." "You know, I have to say that there is part of me that admires you for getting a gang of men to follow your orders." "It's just a shame you couldn't put it to better use." "I am not listening to you." "No." "But your brother is." "So, what?" "You want Dion?" "You can have him." "Tired of cleaning up after his ass, anyway." "All you gonna get from him is nothing, 'cause he ain't nothing." "The thing about your brother, though, is he doesn't know that." "We're settling." "Come on!" "Your original statement claimed" "Vonda was in the room when he went through the mirror." "Today's testimony contradicts it." "That's an honest mistake." "That looks like you might be covering up police misconduct." "We're not covering up anything!" "And that doesn't change the fact that Edward Molaro beat his wife, then resisted arrest." "Your testimony isn't quite as reliable if you're sleeping with your partner." "How much?" "How much you paying this drunk, wife-beating bastard for resisting arrest?" "She's having her client sign the paperwork now." "75,000." "We don't make that in a year." "Don't pay him a dime." "Why, 'cause it makes you look guilty?" "Yeah, something like that." "It's better to look guilty than to be found guilty... that costs millions." "And if people liked cops more," "I could take cases like this to trial." "They don't." "So forget it." "Go back to work." "Price of doing business." "Isaac, Isaac, Isaac!" "Stop it!" "Stop." "Unless you want to get suspended and dumped to call-back, you have to let this go." "Okay?" "No." "Mm-mm." "If y'all want me to turn on my own sister, no." "No, it ain't right." "What's not right, Dion, is your sister playing you..." "and your old man." "Ain't nobody played Wayne." "No?" "She was the last one to see him alive, and she kept that from you." "Then she ordered your boys to do those murders behind your back." "Think your father would've wanted that?" "Wayne left you his crew, Dion." "He thought of you as a leader." "Now, you gonna step up to the plate, or what?" "You give us Bernadette, and we'll give you the one thing she never gave you." "Like what?" "So, what, you want Dion?" "You can have him." "I'm tired of cleaning up after his ass, anyway." "All you're gonna get from him is nothing, 'cause he ain't nothing." "How about respect?" "So, you offered him a gang if he got one of his guys to roll on his sister?" "Well, we put him in charge of the gang, and if we're right about him, he'll drive it into the ground in six months." "You got a problem with that, detective?" "I fully support you, superintendent." "In fact, that's what I just told my union rep five minutes ago." "Or you're both going to jail for a very long time." "I appreciate it." "All right, I know my sister put you on that job." "She shouldn't have done that." "Look, I don't know what you're talking about." "And even if I did," "I serve my nation." "She ain't the queen of that nation." "Never was." "You better remember who made you family in the first place." "And who's that?" "From now on, it's him." "Okay?" "He's the leader of your gang." "And how are you so sure about that?" "Because my gang says so." "Here's the first thing I need you to do." "Call the reporters." "With pleasure." "Superintendent, have you made any arrests in the Lincoln park killings?" "I'm very happy to announce we've made four arrests in connection with today's shootings." "We have confessions and physical evidence tying the three shooters and the ringleader to these murders." "Has the mayor called to congratulate you?" "Not yet." "But he's a very busy man." "Will you be calling him?" "Thank you." "Will you be talking to the mayor?" "Will you be talking to us?" "Isaac, don't do thi..." "Isaac?" "Officer." "How do you live with yourself?" "Huh?" "Suing the police department when all we're trying to do is serve the public." "Serve the public?" "Is that why you became a cop?" "Sure it wasn't to carry a gun and kick a little ass, huh?" "I know your type." "Can you hold this for me, please?" "Thanks." "Oh, so you think you'll never need a cop?" "What are you, five two?" "And a half." "Thank you." "So, somebody tries to break into your house, drag you into some alley..." "who you gonna call?" "Wait, what is this?" "Uh, "you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall" speech?" "If you're gonna do it, give me your best Jack Nicholson." "You want to know about laws, officer?" "I have a ten-foot-high wall around my house in lake forest and a private security firm with a two-minute response time." "I have a .38 under my pillow and another one in my glove compartment, both licensed, in case you're curious." "So no, I don't want, I don't need you banging heads in my name." "Now, please..." "Step away from the car, so I don't back up over you." "Oh, and tell your Uncle," "I'm sure I'll be seeing him again soon." "Come on." "Come on." "All right." "I'll drive you home." "Teresa." "Tom, you wanted to see me?" "Yes." "I wanted to say thank you and congratulations for bringing me those three suspects, those three shooters." "Well, you're welcome." "And, uh..." "Whatever I said at that press conference this afternoon," "I'm just trying to motivate." "It's to, uh, you held your head up, you stood strong, you didn't wilt under pressure." "And it speaks well of you and your team." "Well, I appreciate the inspiration." "And now this union vote tonight..." "I just was on my way when I got your call." "Yeah, well, it comes at a most unfortunate time." "I hope I didn't say anything that fueled the fire in any way." "Nevertheless, whatever decision they come by," "I will have to take into consideration." "I understand." "Good luck, then, tonight." "Congratulations for bringing me these three shooters." "Congratulations to us all." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "And now he can go to the press and say he congratulated me." "Was that supposed to be an apology?" "For the mayor, that is an apology." "I'd like to thank president Kirby for carving out the time for me to speak to you tonight." "Appreciate it." "I promise I'll make it brief." "Please pardon my voice;" "It's been a long day." "Tonight we arrested the four gang members responsible for the Lincoln park massacre." "Now, when I say "we," this is something we have accomplished as a community." "And I know that as a community we are more than just our star numbers and our ranks." "We're mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters." "We're human." "And this job takes its toll." "I get that." "We all have gripes." "I have my own." "There's not enough manpower;" "We need new equipment;" "We need safer vehicles." "And I promise, I will address all of these issues in time." "But all of the personnel and technology in the world will not prevent crime from happening." "That is where we come in." "And we need to use the most powerful weapon in our arsenal." "And you know what that is?" "That's giving a damn." "It is up to us to take back the city and remind the criminals who is in charge." "You know, when I first became a cop..." "I thought it was the greatest job in the world." "Because I could keep people safe." "Not just civilians, but my fellow officers." "And that hasn't changed." "You know, as I look around this room, I recognize faces from when I was a rookie." "And back then we swore we would take care of each other." "That we would have each others' backs." "Well, I still have your back." "I do." "And I am just asking you to please have mine." "Thank you for your time." "I knew you'd win." "What have I won?" "Got a mayor who doesn't back me, and 46 percent of the department has no confidence in me." "54 percent that does, besides you always like fighting as the underdog." "There's so much to do." "You'll get it done." "You will, trust me you're still the best partner I ever had." "I know, that's why you had to break us up so I'd stop making you look so bad." "No, ok." "No really, why then?" " You're still sore about that." " No." " Didn't do your career any harm." " No." "No, really." "If I was the best partner you ever had." "Why did you kick me to the curb?" " The truth?" " Yeah." " The whole truth." " Please." "I spent so much time fending off your come-ons I wasn't solving any crime." "Yeah I thought the city was gonna arrest me for stealing from them." "You know offering to do paperwork is not a come-on." "Just so you know." "And if that is your analysis you're not half the detective I thought you were." "I should probably just bust you back down to beat copper except you'd probably like it too much." " You're getting the first round." " Mhmm."
