(Grimes)

About an hour or so.

[coughs]

Ed, he needs

(Loretta)

Look, Frank,

in four or five hours--

We don't have

(Grimes)

it too good. Huh?

l guess not.

Where are the kids?

(Frank)

Yeah, we're

coming in right now.

Four adults, two kids.

That's it. Yeah.

You heard me, that's it.

Alright. Bye.

(Frank)

Well, l bet

this on your first day.

No. But at least now

you can't dump me.

Well, we'll see.

How far is the school?

Ten minutes.

Relax, will ya?

Don't tell me to relax,

We have to find him.

F***!

Yeah, it's me. Uh, it

looks like he had some help.

Uh, we got a vehicle here

registered to a Billie Ross.

Ross? You sure about that?

Absolutely.

So these bad

cops are part

of the Direct Action Unit?

Yeah. All

decorated veterans.

So why didn't

anybody say anything?

Too much money around.

People got greedy.

(Grimes)

Internal Affairs

and the D.A. didn't

want to know,

too many bad guys

were being put away.

(Loretta)

Okay, The school's

just up ahead.

Dispatch?

Go ahead.

Yeah, this is Capt. Stone.

l want you to put out a APB

on Sgt. Gannon

Sgt. Gannon?

And Officer Ross.

Ross, sir?

Yeah, that's what l said.

Ross. Ross and Gannon.

What charges?

Charges. Multiple

homicide. Murder

of three police officers.

Murder?

That's right. Alright. Do it.

(Frank)

Turn it around,

keep it running.

(Ross)

Got it.

(Grimes)

Two minutes.

He got away.

Ah. l don't know how.

But we're dealing with them.

You wanna

take care of this, fine.

No. No. l think we should

move it up for today.

Okay. Alright. Fine.

l'll talk to you later.

[brakes screech]

[several car doors

open and close]

Ed. l thought

l might find you here.

Look, Ed, l'm sorry,

the Captain wants

you in for questioning.

Questioning?

What about?

You haven't heard?

They're looking for Frank.

He shot some cops.

He killed them this

morning. All l know is

you gotta come in with me.

You gotta--

You gotta give me your gun.

You gotta come here with me.

Hey, just

give me your gun.

Ugh.

Ed. Get them to the car.

Come on ! Come on !

(Carter)

What are you doing?

Hey. You watch

out for Stone.

He's dirty.

(Frank)

Let's go.

(Mayor)

Capt. Stone,

l have a little concern

about this Direct Action

Unit investigation.

Look, the Feds

can investigate till

their blue in their face.

There's nothing

there, Mr. Mayor.

l'm going down there

myself today. l'm gonna

set the record straight.

Damn good record, too.

City's lowest crime

rate in 30 years.

That's quite

an accomplishment.

lt's one that makes us

all look good, sir. Huh?

[chuckles]

You know,

the Chief's thinking

about, uh, retiring next year.

lf the position was open,

maybe you'd like to run.

Uh. Clears throat.

That, uh, that's

very flattering, sir.

Very flattering,

but, uh, l'd have

to give that some thought.

Well, you think on it.

There's a lot of big

people behind you.

They like you.

They like you a lot.

Well, good

luck on this

Grand Jury thing.

Don't you

worry about it, sir.

(Lopresti)

Gannon. It's about

time you came in.

(Katy)

Oh, good.

l really got to go.

What do you think

l'm running here?

A motel or what?

The restroom is right

around the corner.

Assistant to Attorney

General Lopresti.

(Grimes)

Nice to meet you.

(Lopresti)

Let's go in.

A leak?

By my guys?

No way.

No one else knew?

l'll get my guys on it.

lf their's a leak in Justice

I will find it.

(Lopresti)

Now you know

there's an APB

out on both of you.

Please tell me

you didn't gun down

three cops this morning.

(Lopresti)

Jesus. Jesus Christ.

It was self defense.

Shut up!

What about you, Sergeant?

You're harboring fugitives.

My partner

was shot. What

the hell would you do?

Tell it to the Judge.

All three of you.

You know,

l've been

working on this,

uh, DAU investigation

for eight months.

Eight f***ing months!

By 5 :
00 this evening

they were home free.

Less than

three hours and you

couldn't lay low Gannon?

There's something

else going on.

(Frank)

l'm gonna find out what.

No, you're not

going anywhere.

Nowhere!

Do yourself a favor.

Hand over your weapons.

You too, Ross.

(Frank)

You don't give us orders.

You listen to me, Gannon.

lt's your word against

seven decorated officers.

Excuse me, four,

since you f***ing

killed three of them.

Your word doesn't

mean a thing.

not a God dammed thing.

l don't know why

l'm talking to you.

Because your ass

is in a sling.

(Frank)

l'll get some hard

evidence on Stone,

you get me to court.

Excuse me.

(Lopresti)

lt's okay, let him go.

Sorry.

Let's go.

You're not

going anywhere.

You know who

you're up against.

You need backup.

You stay here

and take care

of your family, Ed.

You know

l would have testified

if it wasn't for them.

l know.

[car keys]

Did l hear

something about backup?

Ross.

Stay here.

Alright. No!

A) lf you don't

find that evidence,

I don't have a career.

B) Stone, he knew

what he was doing when he

put me in the car with you.

and C) until the end

of the goddamn day,

l'm your partner!

(Ross)

So, now we're two cops

who are now cop killers,

and we've got

a whole two hours

to put some more

cops and our own

commanding officer in jail.

That's about right.

[chuckles]

We've got

three dead officers

and two dead guys

with AK 47s.

And?

And a van.

Registered to Khalid Manseur.

455 Crescent Street

Apartment 31 0.

You're making

progress, Ross.

Thanks.

455 Crest.

So tell me

something, Ross.

What's that, Sergeant?

How come

a college grad

decided to become a cop?

How did you hear that?

l do my

homework, Ross.

[chuckles]

Yeah, well, l guess this is

what l always wanted to do,

and with other

little girls were

playing with Barbies,

l was playing

cops and robbers.
