...and three John Doe accomplices.

You're completely surrounded.

Surrender immediately.

He's dead.

All right.

We gotta split up.

Franklin. Kressler.

John.

Die, n*gger.

Put some pressure on it.

Let's go!

I'm okay. Take him.

Five, six.

It's you.

Jesus Christ.

Why are you doing this to me?

You killed a cop in L.A.

I didn't kill a cop.

The hell you didn't.

Don't lie to me, a**hole.

You're dying. Don't lie to me.

Give it up, Bobby.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

You robbed that store

and then you shot the manager.

And then when the cop pulled you over

to question you...

...you shot him right in the face.

You pumped a dozen rounds

of 9 mm...

...right in his goddamn face,

didn't you, you son of a b*tch?

You got the wrong guy.

You got the wrong guy.

You shot the wrong guy.

You've been following this guy

for 1500 miles and he didn't do it.

You don't know that.

How do you know that?

The same way you do.

I heard him say it.

And whether you like it or not,

it's true.

John.

You killed him.

You killed my brother.

John, l...

- I didn't want it to go down like...

- I didn't even get a chance to tell him.

I drove up from New Mexico last night

and he was asleep.

Now he'll never know what I did.

He'll never know I had it too.

I had the same blood that he did.

Fire and ice.

He loved me.

He would have killed for me.

But he didn't think I had it.

So I got a Browning just like his

and I went into that store...

...and I shot that n*gger...

...and I shot your f***ing cop too

on the way home.

He came up to me

and I looked him straight in the eyes.

I smiled and I said,

"Merry Christmas, officer."

I had that motherf***er dead bang,

and I blew him away.

I put a bullet in him

for every time some cop...

...f***ed with my brother,

since he was 14 years old.

Now, you put your gun down.

Put it down.

I wanna see your gun on the floor.

I'll blow your f***ing brains out,

f*ggot.

All right. All right, now you.

Okay.

Okay, John.

John, first...

First I think

you ought to know the truth.

Just listen to me.

I think you ought to know the truth

about what happened here.

I didn't kill your brother, John.

He did.

John, give it up, man.

John.

John,

forget all that fire-and-ice bullshit.

Your brother was a p*ssy

without a Browning in his hand.

And he was a f***ing punk

in the joint.

He'd bend over

for a pack of cigarettes.

- He sucked every con in the joint, John.

- Shut up!

Shut up!

I don't have anything to say to you.

You gave up your gun.

You did what no cop should ever do.

He was gonna kill me if I didn't.

He was gonna kill us both anyway.

Who are you to talk?

You told him I killed his brother.

If it was up to you,

I'd be dead right now.

It was up to me.

I'm pleased to say that this case

is a model example...

...of how the FBI

and local law enforcement...

...can not only work together,

but achieve significant results together.

In reviewing the letters,

Burns' phone book...

...and other evidence

supplied by Agent Kressler...

...the bureau is revising its position

on white supremacy groups.

There is sufficient evidence...

...to believe

that there is a concerted effort...

...to combine these groups

under a common umbrella.

And so the FBI is forming a task force

to respond to this.

Now, I would like to introduce

the agent...

...who has been on this case

from beginning to end, Arthur Kressler.

Thank you, sir.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

There's not much I can add.

I would, however,

like to thank the bureau...

...for its unwavering support

and commitment to this operation.

And also a big clap on the back

to local law enforcement.

They were with us

every step of the way.

Without them,

we probably wouldn't be here now.

Taxi?

How's your leg?

It hurts like a b*tch.

What do you think?

Thanks for the lift.

Jerry.

I want you to know

I'd go through a door with you anytime.

And there's more out there

than death and taxes.

A hell of a lot more.

All you gotta do

is give it half the chance.
