Translation and subtitles by PEPPER & LALASPAIN *** SONG LIVES FOR EVER ***
Oh, this isn't awkward.
It's tradition, sweet pea.
Dad, I have told you,
please don't call me "Sweet Pea" or "Honey" while we're working,
or at the station.
You know, it's hard enough for me to get the guys to take me seriously.
OK, Officer McCullers.
You can never make anything easy, can you?
You know what? Screw 'em!
Let them think what they're gonna think.
You're gonna blow right by them when you get your gold shield, anyway.
I'm gonna be running the station.
I don't know how I'm gonna feel about that, working for my daughter.
Oh, don't worry. I won't play favorites.
I wouldn't expect anything less.
Damn! I thought it was gonna be a slow night!
Chris, wait for back-up!
Hang on!
Freeze!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Jesus! What do you think you're doing?
Get over here!
- You've any weapons on you? - No.
- You look 14, kid. - I'm 15.
Is this what's this is about?
Look, I was hungry, OK? My mum hasn't been home in days.
I'm sorry, kid. I'm still gonna have to take you down to the station. You just...
You don't have to do this.
Put the gun down.
- Just out the gun down. - You don't understand.
I'm coming in, Chris!
No! No! Dad!
First responder's on the scene.
Officer in need of assistance. Tower Two, the Kelly Court Project.
65 in progress.
Officer 2-20, hold position. 2-10 is flying in. ETA three minutes.
911. What's your emergency?
- There's a Boogeyman in the house. - Are you sure?
He's big and scary, so I'm hiding.
- Where are your parents? - You think he'll find me?
Listen, kid, everything's gonna be all right. You just need to go back to bed...
- He'll be gone in the morning. - But... the monster?
Listen, kid, this isn't a baby-sitting service to coddle you after a nightmare.
You need to hang up so this line can remain open for emergencies.
I tried to warn JH.
- Who's JH? - He's my friend.
Our parents are friends, so we're friends.
- Is he OK? - I think so but he wouldn't listen.
He's upstairs sleeping.
Which is what you should be doing!
If not, I'm gonna send over some real scary man
to arrest you for tying up an emergency line.
- But... - I'm gonna give you to the count of three...
One, two, three...
Are you still there?
No response. Call terminated.
- 911... - She's not breathing...!
- She's not breathing! - OK, Sir? I need you to calm down.
I'm gonna send some help on the way.
Is she turning blue?
No, she doesn't have any color.
Sir, that's a good thing. That means she's still getting oxygen.
I don't know, she may be Grey...
Here we go. Are you eating with us tonight?
Why not? The usual.
You got it.
Keep pushing against my hand. As long as you can. Keep pushing.
Good. Good. Good. Good.
All right.
OK. It's loosening up.
Does that mean I'll be able to run in the Labor Day 5K?
In a couple of years.
Look, it's gonna take about two years for you to get full mobility.
And what's up with you answering the door without a brace?
Hey! OK!
I get it!
No, you don't.
What about the pain?
Is there something else you can give me for it?
Not if you wanna keep working and driving.
It'll subside, eventually...
The fact that you can push at all...
That's a step in the right direction.
- Pun intended? - Chris...
You almost lost your leg...
Nerve, muscle damage... It doesn't heal overnight,
not even in the next month.
You need to be patient.
What?
Hey...
- Arnold. - Chris? - Yeah.
New partner?
This is Cortez, she came up through the Valley.
Aah, good people over there.
Is Sergeant Parks still there? Chewing ass?
Like it's his last meal.
So, what's this about?
Chris, have a seat.
Yeah, go ahead.
911. What's your emergency?
- There's a Boogeyman in the house. - Are you sure?
He's big and scary, so I'm hiding.
- Where are your parents? - You think he'll find me?
Listen, kid, everything's gonna be all right. You just need to go back to bed...
- He'll be gone in the morning. - But... the monster?
Listen, kid, this isn't a baby-sitting service to coddle you after a nightmare.
You need to hang up so this line can remain open for emergencies.
I tried to warn JH.
- Who's JH? - He's my friend.
Our parents are friends, so we're friends.
- Is he OK? - I think so but he wouldn't listen.
- He's upstairs sleeping. - Which is what you should be doing!
If not, I'm gonna send over some...
All right, that's enough.
...to arrest you for tying up an emergency line.
Last night...
John Henry Blalock was found murdered in his home at 1240 Braxton Street.
John Henry, is that the kid from the call?
John Henry, JH. The other kid, the caller was in the house with him.
You know, I have to say. it's...
hard being in a murder scene and
discover that 911 was dialed around the time of death.
So, what do you... what do you need from me?
Just a couple of questions.
- You might want your union rep for this. - No.
Look, they're just gonna tell me to keep my mouth shut
and that will slow down the investigation.
So you understand your rights?
Yeah.
Was there anything on that tape that we can't hear? Anything that struck you?
OK, I...
I thought it was just some kid messing around, making up a story, I...
Ted was bashed-in with a hammer.
Where were his parents?
A couple of drunks, out...
getting wasted with the neighbour, that's who the caller belonged to.
Their story is they came home and found him
but it's looking like they did it.
No, he...
He said there was somebody there, a boogeyman.
There's a history of violence in this home.
A pattern of them going out, coming home and hurting their kid.
Evidently the caller didn't know this.
That was the Boogeyman.
If I had thought that they were in danger in any way...
I would've sent somebody, I'd...
There were other calls flooding in that had higher priority. I...
I thought...
You know, I thought that they were putting somebody else's life in danger,
I needed to get to that next call.
In the...
You all right?
Super.
I'm gonna need to place you on leave.
I need this job.
No, you don't.
Disability cover everything you'll ever need.
That's not what I mean.
Standard operating procedure.
When an incident like this happens, I'm required to put you on leave...
until the Review Board.
It's just the way it is.
Hey!
Miss me?
Double!
Thanks.
Hey!
You feel like darts?
- You're wasting your time. - And why is that?
So? I said darts, not sprints.
I'm assuming you got that on the line of duty?
That being the case, I can hardly hold it against you.
Thanks. Very gracious of you.
You know, I was gonna come up last night but I didn't approach because...
Being on the street, I've learnt to read people.
My timing would've got me shot down.
Shot down? Is that supposed to be funny?
Wrong choice of words. Sorry.
Yup.
OK, let's try this again.
Why don't you give me your cell-phone number? I will call you up,
and ask you out on a proper date?
I don't have one.
There are four-year-olds who have cell phones.
Yeah, well, I have a phone on my ear all day.
The last thing I want is to have one on my time off.
Look, who's putting you up to this?
No one.
You didn't lose a bet or something?
All I was looking for was the chance to buy an attractive woman a drink.
Just one?
OK. Yeah.
Light?
OK, easy, Stumbles.
Let's get you to bed.
- And you're not turning me? - No!
- I got it. - Relax, I'm just trying to help.
It's attractive, isn’t it?
Stop!
- Stop! - OK!
Good-night, detective.
Hey, Chris! I just wanted to see how you're doing this morning,
and I needed to let you know your review will be tomorrow,
Tuesday, 24th at 10.
Nothing like headlines to expedite these things, right?
Anyway, if there's anything you need or if you have any questions,
please, give me a call in my office.
Take care of yourself.
- I should have followed through. - For one phone call? - Yeah, I mean...
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Reporters have swarmed my place!
You brought it on yourself.
We did what we could to keep it quiet,
but the parents or the parents attorneys
went out to divert some attention from them.
They made a sensational case that much more sensational.
Parents kill kid with a hammer, whose cries for help go unheard
by the person whose sole purpose...
is to hear those cries.
I wanna help.
Well, you gave us your statement. That's all you can do.
You know I can do more than that.
I'm not some High School graduate bound to a dispatch chair.
Chris, we're good.
The case is coming together around the parents.
The kid said that something...
Just chalked it up to another story.
'Cos kids make up stories.
Right?
Chris, look, I know things are really rough right now.
But trust me, all this noise is gonna go away
the minute they find another story to pump to the new cycle.
In the meantime, just find some place to lay low for a couple of days.
OK?
Hey, Kurt.
Hey, what are you doing here?
You hear about what happened?
Yeah.
That's rough.
- Are you doing OK? - Yeah, I'm all right.
Look, I know that this may be asking a lot but...
I was wondering if I could crush at your place.
It'd just be for a couple of nights. The press is camped out at my apartment,
and I just... I really need to get away.
I wish I could, I just can't because my...
son's in town with his two sons,
and we're full house. I'm sorry.
No problem.
If you want... do you need money for a motel or something?
No, no, I could never take money from you.
I owed your Dad a lot of money just from the pool games I lost to him.
No, no, I'm good, I'm good.
Come by again, OK?
Definitely.
Please note that the operator under review, 2304,
Christine McCullers has refused representation.
We're here to determine what happened on the night of Saturday, May 22nd...
and what procedure broke down.
And to determine if any responsibility lies with operator 2304.
So, Miss McCullers, do you have an opening statement?
No.
Play the call.
911. What's your emergency?
- There's a Boogeyman in the house. - Are you sure?
He's big and scary, so I'm hiding.
- Where are your parents? - You think he'll find me?
Listen, kid, everything's gonna be all right. You just need to go back to bed...
- He'll be gone in the morning. - But... the monster?
Listen, kid, this isn't a baby-sitting service to coddle you after a nightmare.
You need to hang up so this line can remain open for emergencies.
I tried to warn JH.
- Who's JH? - He's my friend.
Our parents are friends, so we're friends.
- Is he OK? - I think so but he wouldn't listen.
Miss McCullers' supervisor, Janet Burke
has requested to speak on operator's 2304's behalf.
I've been in Chris' position before.
For over 20 years, I sat where Chris sits.
It's not easy to be judged for a split second decision,
that can be carefully analyzed later over hours, days, weeks...
This was a bad decision that had a horrible outcome.
But that should not ruin her career.
She's a good operator and she deserves to be on the job.
The MDC is better with her around.
Is there anything else that needs to be presented?
All right, we will take a break while we discuss our ruling.
Let's reconvene at two o'clock.
Excuse me, do you have an extra copy of the call transcript?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
You are like a Nat we just can't swallow.
I was re-reading the call transcripts...
- Chris... - We don't need help with this investigation.
I'm getting some coffee.
- Do you still make the parents for it? - Yeah.
- What are they saying? - They're pleading not guilty, big surprise.
- Capital case to be expected. - Assume they're not guilty.
No forced entry. A history of violence in the home...
We can place them at the scene near the time of the death...
What more do we need?
Don't you find it odd that the kid didn't identify the Blalocks?
- Chris, it doesn't mean anything. - It could mean something.
Why are you doing this?
I want justice.
Maybe this is about something else. Maybe this is about your Dad.
- It's about justice. - But Chris...
Suppose I find something...
that lends just a little bit of credibility to another theory...
a Boogeyman theory...
And the defense uses it to cloud the Jury's mind,
into thinking that the parents are not guilty,
when in fact they really killed their kid.
How would you help serve justice?
And you really honor your father properly?
I'm telling you, there's something here.
OK, I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks.
Guess who I am? Oh...
I shouldn't laugh, I shouldn't!
We understand the pressure this job entails,
and we in no way condemn Miss McCullers.
It is regretful her decision led to a child's death, but it did.
So it is our recommendation that Christine McCullers
be suspended for a period of two months... without pay.
And during which time she will be required to attend
a six-week sensitivity course.
We're dismissed.
Hey, Chris...
The ruling could've been better.
It could've been worse, way worse!
If you hadn't said what you said, I...
Thank you.
For all the talk outside these walls, I just wanted to make sure you get a fair deal.
Look, nobody gets it unless the sit in the chair.
Look, I know what you're going through.
Back in '92 I didn't dispatch a unit fast enough when a kid was beaten to death.
I had no idea. I'm so sorry...
But I learnt from it.
And it made a stronger, better operator.
Look, I meant what I said in there. You've got a cop's instinct and we need that.
Thanks.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna make this right.
Hey!
Finally ready to play a game?
Look, have you heard anything about the case?
Case?
My case. The one with the kid and everything?
Sorry. I haven't heard anything.
Look, I don't think it was the parents.
- And why do you think that? - Because the kid didn't identify them.
So?
You don't think that's weird?
Who's on the case?
They're with Arnold and Cortez.
You need to leave it to them.
Look, I can do a lot more than just sit on my ass and answer phone calls.
- I'm here for help. - Help?
Help you investigate a detective's active case?
Sorry, but no thank you. That is a real quick way for me never to get a shield.
Thanks for nothing.
Is this gonna hurt my chances for a date?
You know what gets me?
If I'm wrong about the parents, then what's the harm?
The killers are caught, it's just a few man-hours that are wasted.
But if I'm right, there is a killer of a kid still out there.
And the way this went down, how it was pulled off...
I don't think it's gonna be the last time.
Goaaaal!
Yes!
US needs this to win their first ever World Cup.
All left up to the luck of the youngest player to ever fill the US jersey.
Shit!
Who is it?
Police!
Hey there!
- Are you Stevie? - Yeah.
Is your Mom home?
You - you tried to help your friend the other night.
Yeah, but he still got hurt.
You thought you saw the Boogeyman?
Yeah, he was like a shadow but no one believes me.
And you're sure it wasn't Mr or Mrs Blalock?
They aren't the Boogeyman. That's crazy.
Yeah, it is crazy.
Thank you, Stevie. You've been a lot of help.
You keep this door locked, OK?
Take that one.
You got five minutes.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Officer Christine McCullers.
- I'm the dispatcher... - What are you doing here?
I wanted to speak with you.
You want forgiveness for my kid getting killed?
Screw you!
I could never ask you to forgive me.
You let some guy kill my son and you don't wanna say sorry?
- To hell with you! - Look, I don't think you did it!
Or your husband.
I might be the only one. I wanna help.
Our lawyer keeps pressuring us to take that plea.
There ain't no way I'm gonna stand before that Judge and God Almighty
to say that I killed my boy.
Have there been any strange people near the house lately?
No.
D'you remember anything odd about the day he was killed?
I don't - I don't remember much.
I don't even know if I told JH "Good-night".
I just remember blood...
There was a lot of blood.
He was always so scared.
I hope he had his blue with him.
It made him feel safe.
What was his "Blue"?
When he was a baby, he had a blue blanket.
Always had it with him.
We struggled...
And he struggled to let it go. We struggled...
that he wouldn't carry it anymore.
He got to school, the kids, they made fun of him so bad.
Did he carry it in High School?
Hell, no.
Before Middle School, his Dad...
He gave him one of his work bandanas.
It was dark blue.
He took it... Accepted it as a replacement.
That way, if he was...
scared or nervous or just needed good luck...
He could have it with him.
I hope he had his blue.
It made him feel safe.
I wish I could've made him feel safe.
I wish I could've made him feel safer.
When I said come visit again, I didn't expect it to be this soon.
- I need your advice. - Sure. What is it?
It's about the Blalock case.
- I went to see the Mom. - Chris, why would you do that?
- They didn't do this. - You can't get yourself mixed up in that.
Dad always said you were a great investigator.
So you want me to be an armchair detective?
I only know what I read in the papers.
How would you approach this?
Well, I wouldn't start by going door to door, that'd be a waste of time.
I'd go to the school, I'd talk to his friends,
find out what this kid was about.
OK, that's great.
The Mom mentioned something about a blue bandana...
She said he always carried it with him, specially when he was scared.
Would you be able to check the inventory to see if they bagged it at the scene?
- Chris, you wanna make me lose my pension? - No, of course not.
I need to know if she's telling the truth.
I can't.
I wanna fix this.
Give me a minute.
No.
There's nothing like that on the inventory sheet.
OK.
Thanks, Kurt.
Now, get out of here before you get us both in trouble.
- Principal Lorton - Officer Chris McCullers. - I'm Monty. - Hi.
Sorry about the wait. After school can always be a bit chaotic.
I hope you don't mind but I asked JH's Home Room teacher to join us.
No, no, of course not. Thank you for coming.
- So, you're here about JH? - Yeah.
Tragic, just tragic.
I knew his home life wasn't the best.
But I never it'd get up like this.
Oh, that's why we're here. We're still investigating his death.
But his parents, we thought...
With all the publicity surrounding the case,
we just wanna make sure his parents are unable to amount any sort of defense.
We wanna get out there in front of any possible theories and discredit them.
OK.
Would it be possible for me to speak to some of his friends?
He was a quiet kid.
Kept to himself.
Was JH bullied?
No, absolutely not.
We have zero-tolerance policy when it comes to that.
Well, every school does but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Was he being picked on?
Right, the kids I see who get picked on are the ones who
put themselves out there in class... They answer questions...
They volunteer, do extra kind of work, things like that.
JH... He just wasn't that kid.
Did he have a locker that I could take a look at?
It was cleared out.
But I did keep the items in a box for his...
It's in my classroom. I can take you.
That'll be great. Thank you. Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
He may not have been well-known but he was one of us.
I didn't want to speak out of turn in front of Principal Lorton.
But we did have some problems with the janitor a few months ago.
He got fired for being drunk and high.
OK.
Well, for months we had a rash of locker thefts and we...
Never proved it was him but we all suspected.
It could be nothing but you said anything might help.
What could he have taken from JH?
That's why I remembered.
On the day it all went down and he got fired,
JH was the one to actually turn him in...
for acting strange, and that's how we found out about the booze and the drugs.
- Kyle Hall? - Yeah?
I've a couple of questions for you.
Now's not a good time.
If you don't open the door, I'm gonna let your parole officer know
that you were uncooperative in an on-going investigation.
I don't know why you're here.
I wanna talk to you about your job over at that school.
I don't work there no more.
Yeah, because you were getting drunk and high and stealing from the kids.
I was in a bad place.
But I'm clean.
OK, I'm clean. Back then, I needed money for my affliction.
Don't think that I don't feel bad for what I've done.
I know it was wrong... stealing from them...
- Is that all you did? - Yeah.
Of course!
Did you kill that kid Saturday night?
What?
I may be an addict, I may be a thief, but I'm no killer.
- Where were you Saturday night? - I was...
I was right here.
- That's not a very good alibi. - It's the truth!
Well, that kid who reported you and got you fired from your job,
he was killed Saturday night not too far from here.
I didn't do it, OK? That kid freeing me up, he probably saved my life.
How self aware.
Oh, you can't put this on me, not something I didn't do.
- How'd you smash his head? - Don't do this to me, I'm not going back in...
How did you do it? - I'm not going back in.
How did you do it? I'm not going back in there!
Did you kill him?
I didn't do it! I didn't kill him! I didn't do it.
Where's the stuff?
What stuff?
Where is the stuff that you stole from the locker?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Yes, you do! Where is the stuff you stole?
All right.
OK, OK.
Hands up!
Easy!
Put it on the table.
Open it.
Step back.
And put your hands up!
Where's the bandana?
Bandana? What bandana?
Where's the bandana?
I don't know. I swear That's it. That's all I have.
I didn't do anything to that kid! I swear!
Hey, come on in.
What's that?
It's a gift.
Should I open it now?
What happened?
Someone broke in.
What?
Yeah, I think it might have been JH's killer.
Why do you think that?
Because I went by JH's house and school. I think he followed me here.
Well, that was stupid. What were you thinking?
I lifted some prints.
OK.
Wait, are you leaving?
If this guy's coming after you, we need to know who it is right now.
You stay inside, lock the door, call me if you need anything.
I don't have your number.
Yeah, you do.
- Hey! - I was wondering if you opened it.
What? You're checking up on me?
No, I was checking to see if I wasted my money.
But I'm also calling with some news.
You got a hit on one of those prints.
Chris?
You're still there?
- Yeah. - Did you hear me?
- We have a name on one of your prints. - Let me guess...
- Anthony Glass. - Yeah.
- But how did you know? - I'll call you later.
ALTHOUGH THE CITY HAS RULED AGAINST...
What do you mean they're not even gonna consider it?
They've already ruled!
They were disappointed that neither of us disclosed that you were on drugs.
It's a prescription!
God! God damn it!
- This is ridiculous! - Whatever the case...
I'm not gonna be able to have you back now.
The guy broke into my apartment!
Unnamed sources is code for illegally obtained.
I'm sorry.
So am I.
Let me guess.
Damn it!
Dustin?
Hey! I'm in here!
- Hey. - I thought you were gonna be late.
I was but I wanted to spend some time with you.
My work will still be there tomorrow.
- Could we go catch a movie? - Yes. - Sweet! - But...
Go clear your dirty clothes first. I need to do a load by tomorrow.
Dustin...
How many times do I have to tell you?
When you're at home alone, you have to keep the doors locked.
- There was a little fault... - When did it start...?
No, no, I wanna hear the boat story.
Come on!
So, my Dad, he got this 21-foot...
Speed-boat and it was named...
"The Keel of Fortune", cos he bought it from someone who had won it
on "The Wheel of Fortune".
- That's bad. That's not good. - I didn't name it, so...
Anyways, we'd go down to the marina and...
My Dad makes me the first mate. I'm like seven years old, maybe eight.
And we get to the dock...
At the gas station, the boat gas station...
And I jump off...
On to the dock and I'm gonna tie up the boat with this rope...
But the boat kind of went back out. It didn't stop and I...
was holding to the rope and it just pulled me right back into the water.
But I still didn't let go off the rope.
I'm seven and having seen "Jaws",
I was convinced that the ocean was just full of sharks.
Waiting to eat any children that fell in the water.
Oh, man.
Yeah...
That was - that was the end of my sailing days.
Mhm.
No more sailing career for me.
- It's probably for the best. - Yeah.
So when did you know you wanted to be a cop?
I don't know, I...
It was just always...
Like a part of me.
Helping people, you know, I got that...
I got that from my Dad.
And after I got shot, I just...
I felt like such a failure.
Because the one purpose I had in life...
It was just taken from me.
And everyday...
at work, I just ... I hated it.
I hated every single day because every call,
was just a reminder...
that I could no longer help people.
And the...
And the funny thing is, the irony here... is that...
I was helping people.
I was the first person helping people.
And now that's...
And that's been taken from me too.
You can always try to get reinstated.
No.
I can't.
Can't or won't?
Look, in order for you to move on...
To truly move on, you gotta put the past to sleep.
You gotta let it go.
Tell me what happened.
I went on a patrol with my Dad.
The department had...
This tradition of...
kids riding with their parents,
on a patrol, erm...
We...
We saw a robbery...
And I...
I chased the perp down the alley.
Freeze!
- Is this what's this is about? - I just...
Look, I was hungry, OK? My mum hasn't been home in days.
... you down to the station. You just...
You don't have to do this. Everything will be OK.
You don't understand.
Put the gun down.
I'm coming in, Chris!
Back off or I'll shoot!
It's all right, kid...
It's all right.
- It ain't all right! - Just put the gun down.
No.
Look... I'll put my gun away first, OK?
Let's figure out how we can all go home happy here.
You're in total control of the situation, kid.
You can have your life.
Petty theft don't mean a thing.
Chris, don't!
My Dad died...
because of a bag of chips.
Everything...
would have been all right if I would have just...
listened to him.
Hey, hey...
The kid did this.
Whatever his reasons were, he caused all of it, he stole the chips.
He ran, he swiped your gun...
He shot you...
Because I reached for my weapon.
No, because you assessed the situation.
You were doing what you thought needed to be done.
Well, that assessment killed my Dad.
You can continue to beat yourself up about it
because you think you deserve the self-flagellation...
But you don't.
You deserve to be happy.
If you haven’t realized it yet...
I wanna be a part of that.
You know, when you smile and when you laugh...
Which doesn't happen very often but when you do...
Your whole face lights up.
Drives me crazy.
- Tim, wake up! - Mhm.
Wake up. You need to go. I need you to go now.
What?
I need you to wake up and go please.
- I need you to leave. - What are you talking about?
Can you please get up and get out?
I don't understand. Did I do something wrong?
No, look, I'm a hurry. I have my physical therapy appointment
and I don't want the distraction.
OK.
Thank you.
God! What have you been doing?
- Just some gymnastics... - Chris...
Look, I just... I've been on my feet more than usual. It's no big deal.
You need to find a way to keep off your leg. You hear me?
The more you aggravate your leg, the longer it's gonna take to heal.
- OK. - Listen!
I don't mean to scare you with this...
But you continue this way with your leg...
And you're gonna jeopardize it.
That means amputation.
You really need to take a minute and think about this.
OK.
Here we go.
Hopefully you'll find the right owners for those.
Chris!
- Hi! - Hey, Monty!
You're a brave man riding in this heat.
Oh, it's nowhere near this time in Tucson.
Plus, I'm actually not part of the problem, you know?
- What brings you by? - You were right about the janitor.
I was able to get him to turn over some of those stolen goods.
- That's great. - Yeah. Thank you for the tip.
You're welcome. I take it you heard about the parents?
Yeah.
I don't get how a parent...
Can take a hammer to their own kid.
Yeah, and that's something I was never able to wrap my mind around.
Wait...
You don't think the parents did it?
I don't know, I mean...
It doesn't matter, there's nothing I can do about it now.
Well, if there's anything that I can do to help...
- Anything at all, please let me know. - I will.
- You take care of yourself, Monty. - You too.

The gate won't open up which is fine.
He's like, yeah, yeah, hop the fence, hop the fence...
So I'm hopping the fence, I'm seeing triple,
Five sheets, no end. And And I think there's this...
Hey, I tried calling you there.
Yeah, I know.
Can I talk yo you for a minute?
Please?
Look, there are things that I wanted to say to you.
I just didn't feel right leaving them in a message.
So, say 'em.
- Here? - Mhm.
About this morning...
I panicked.
Last night was...
Was incredible.
And when I woke up, I was scared.
And...
And I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
I'm sorry.
And I need your help.
Wait, did you say all those things so I'd help you?
Look, I think I know who the killer is.
I went by the school and I ran into JH's Home Room teacher.
And he said to me...
he couldn't understand how parents could kill their kid with a hammer.
He knew about the hammer.
That information was never released to the public.
And I went back and I went through every news article
and not one of them mentioned it.
They all say blood force trauma.
He knew about the hammer. It has to be him.
OK, that's interesting.
What else?
He's from Tucson.
Is there any way that you could look into him without the department finding out?
- That's it? - For now.
OK.
OK. What's his name?
- Freeze! - Whoa! Whoa! Chris, it's me!
Jesus!
What are you doing here?
I thought you might want the information that I got.
I nearly shot your head off.
Well, thank you for showing a bit of restraint.
Let’s get you out of here.
- What'd you find out? - Here.
- No, I have to check upstairs. - We're leaving.
He's not gonna be back til after school.
Chris, if we get caught in here, I'm off the Force
and who knows what they're gonna pin on you.
Just tell me what you found.
I will tell you when you get back in the car...
Which can happen now or when you finish your search.
Next time you decide to break into a house,
take your cellphone, please. That way I won't have to break in after you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... What did you find?
His jacket is clean.
You took me out of the house to tell me that? Thank you.
But I did ask for similar cases involving teens
where the cause of death was blunt force trauma.
And?
OK, so, in the last ten years there were 15 matches.
Six were attributed to gangs.
Eight others had convictions and one other is still an open case.
Well, did you get a list of schools were those were at?
Yeah.
OK, let's cross-reference those with the schools were Monty taught.
I didn't get those. You got them?
No, erm...
It's OK. We'll use Linked-In.
What's that?
- OK. Are you ready? -Yeah.
Piedmont?
No.
- John Marshall. - No.
- Holy Cross? - No.
- Ben Franklin? - No. - Saint Mary's.
No.
Damn it. It has to be him. I can feel it.
Look, let's go to the school and question him.
No, absolutely not. We'll be patient and we wait.
Wait? What are we gonna wait for? For him to kill another kid?
Just be patient. OK?
Did you have a list of the activities that the kids were involved in?
You mean, a sports day plan?
No, erm... programs.
Monty volunteered to the boys and girls club.
No, I don't have anything like that.
The unsolved murder, what what the name of the Vic?
His name was Joaquin Jackson.
Son of a bitch. Here, check out his obituary.
In Joaquin's free time he enjoyed playing basketball with his friends.
En lieu of flowers, please make a donation to his honor to the boys and girls club.
- It's him. - OK, Chris. - No, look. He knew about the hammer.
And what better person to know the details of a kid's life than his teacher?
And now... now we have him connected to another unsolved murder.
We have to get back in that house.
- OK. Yeah, we do. - Yeah.
Chris!
Let's go back in there.
- Let's go in. - No, no.
Here's the plan. I'm gonna go in and look for that bandana.
You stay on him, give me a heads-up if he's coming back to the house.
- OK? - OK?
Oh. my God.
Freeze!
Come on, Tim.
Answer, answer, answer.
Damn it!
No!
Tim!
- Are you OK? - Attic.
Damn it.
No.
That would be mine.
Drop it!
I said... drop it!
Put it on the ground... now!
Chris, don't!
Put the gun on the ground, Monty.
- OK. - Put it down!
Putting it down.
Hang in there.
Shots fired. Officer down. 2302 Tinderbrook Lane.
Just hang in there, OK? You'll be OK.
- You used your cellphone. - Yeah. - I'm proud of you.
OK. OK, we gotta get you down to the station
so we can get your official statement.
Can you walk?
Probably shouldn't.
I'll see if the MT's have a wheelchair.
Did you find the stuff?
- Did you find the stuff? - Yeah, all of it. You got him.
Hey. Take these things off her, please.
Tim and I did.
I hope the Department takes it easy on him.
Oh, they don't want the bad press of going after a cop
who caught a serial killer, a child serial killer.
Chris, we just didn't see it.
You would have, eventually.
Yeah, but how many more victims would there have been?
You did good here.
Hey...
Your Dad would have been proud.
