Caught in the Crossfire Page #7

---

It's clear.

Let me take this guy out.

Just stay there.

(Static)

Who did you see?

Who did you see?

Who were you looking at?

Who did you want to hear?

What was going on?

The tree line.

(Gunfire popping)

There's no light.

Nobody would have

seen you back here.

(Gunfire)

Where were the shots?

Right there.

Right there.

(Gunfire continues)

This is where you fired,

you sons of b*tches.

Right over here.

Right here.

C.S.I. misses a couple

every time.

.40 s&w.

What did he say?

.45 caliber, old school.

Right?

- So what?

- What do we carry? 40's.

- Huh?

- Standard issue.

(Distant siren wails)

What did you say?

What did you tell them?

Ballistics on both... 9mms.

Now, I bet you that when we pull

the slugs from Jacobs tonight,

that we have a match with these

other two crime scenes.

And that's a series.

Okay? One, two and three.

9mm.

You saw three cops.

Can you identify them?

Lower your weapon. Look at him, Michael.

He's lowering his gun.

You blocked my shot,

you son of a b*tch.

You wanted to make sure

your boys were safe.

Detective Stephen Briggs,

metro P.D.

I need the chief

homicide detective.

Connect me now!

(Starts car,

siren wailing)

Yeah, it's me.

Meet me outside in five minutes.

Okay.

Hey, you should

put that away.

People get hurt all

the time with those things.

You brought everything, right?

Yes, I did.

You think you went

a little overboard in there?

We got away with it,

didn't we?

Crime scenes are all bunk.

The lieutenant's running around

trying to cover his ass.

We're free and clear,

my friend.

Besides, you think they're really

gonna believe a word I said?

Streets are open.

Time to roll.

Yeah, I got it.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Ready?

So when do i

get my cut?

Listen, you get me across

the Canadian border first...

and then we'll talk

next steps.

That's bullshit.

I'm the one that took

all the risks last night.

Let me tell you something:

If it wasn't for me,

my partner would have shot

all your guys in the tree line.

We'd be in the f***ing

sh*t right now.

Do you understand?

That's not to mention that

your staging of a suicide...

It leaves a lot

to be desired, okay?

I've been cleaning up

your mistakes all night.

- Mistakes?

- Yeah.

Your mistake is you should have never

let more than Michael Pips in this thing.

He couldn't have taken

all those houses down alone.

Well, his crew, they could

have exposed all of us.

They didn't. Listen, captain,

this thing is over.

Okay? And there's nothing

that can tie us back to any of it.

So don't go playing

Monday-morning quarterback now.

I get your ass

over that border,

you are gone forever.

You understand me?

Yeah, I wouldn't be complaining

that much if I was you.

I am about to make you

a very rich man.

I'm about to be.

Need to clear traffic ahead.

We are moving to point.

(Sirens wailing)

- Sh*t.

- Move it, all. Let's go.

- [Man]:
Back me up!

- [Man 2]:
Let's go!

- Sh*t.

- Move!

- Go go go!

- (Tires squealing)

- Come on!

- (Firing)

Cover me!

Go go, let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go behind

the warehouse!

- Move back!

- Come on! Go go!

Come on, let's go!

Move back!

- [Man]:
Ahh!

- Move move move!

Drop it!

Ahhh!

I go! I go, I go!

Reload!

- Ready?

- Let's go!

Cover me!

I'm going for an opening here!

(Gunfire)

He's in the warehouse.

Help's coming.

Stay down.

Shepherd!

Ahhh!

You hurt yourself, Shepherd!

You said too much!

You didn't think I was

gonna check your story?

Tell you the truth, I didn't

think you gave a f***, Briggs!

"Let the animals

kill each other," right?

Yeah.

Didn't count on

you knowing Jacobs.

You killed detective Jacobs!

You killed Hicks

and Cruz!

And you set up Evans

to take the fall!

You were cleaning up

tonight!

That's right, pal.

You walked me right through it!

You even did

the report for me.

What are you gonna do now,

detective?

You got no play, Shepherd!

The building's surrounded!

This goes up a lot higher

than you know.

Trust me, Briggs, there's still

time for you to get in, pal.

You're not gonna make it out!

Give it up!

Your boys shot everyone that

can connect me to this crime.

The f***ed-up thing is I wanted

to include you in this, Briggs.

I did!

Everyone else said you were

too much of a Loose Cannon.

What do you say?

I'll make you a rich man.

There's still plenty of money

to go around.

Huh? What do you say?

- What do you say, Briggs?

- No, you're trapped, Shepherd!

- There's no way out for you!

- (Firing)

You don't know how high up

this thing goes!

(Gun clicking)

Easy.

Whoa.

Well, thank you, detective.

You can take it

from here, lieutenant.

(Snorts)

You don't sound convinced.

Everything fits too perfectly

in this case.

What do you want me to do?

Show me his statements.

I can't do that.

I just want to know

what he's saying.

These reports are

for our eyes only.

Just keep him here

for awhile.

Just keep him talking.

What do you expect to find?

I don't know.

But if there was

somebody else involved,

it's somebody that knows

our system inside and out.

(Siren approaches)

No no.

No! God!

(Gun fires)

What if you're right,

detective?

Then we've found

our cop killer.
