The maintenance fellow is on strike.
What am I supposed to do?
Put them in myself?
Lorenzo, you know those laptops
we ordered for the Rainbow Club?
- They didn't come with power cords.
- Talk to your housing manager here.
- How we supposed to use them?
- Ladies, tell Rafik to find me...
...before I find him, all right?
- All right.
Lorenzo?
I need for you to have
a man-to-man with Billy.
About what?
He started hitting me.
Can you believe that?
You scared?
All right. I'll sit his dumb ass down
and talk to him, okay?
Thank you.

- Good seeing you, bro.
- All right, baby.
Oh, Rafik. Just the knucklehead
I was looking for.
Right here, son.
Come on down.
You know what this is?
- A warrant.
- No. It's a Gannon warrant.
You didn't show for your hearing.
Hearing for what,
driving while black?
- Can you talk to him tonight? Please.
- Okay, okay. I'm gonna do it, all right?
Did you or did you not get stopped
in that town at 2 a. M...
...got a nickel bag of weed on you?
- A nickel bag?
- What you doing...
...cruising through Gannon
in the middle of the night?
I was going home, son. Doing
the speed limit and everything. DWB.
You know how those rookies over
in Gannon are. They stop me.
- So you know.
- Hey, hey, hey. Don't try to relate.
First of all, lose the weed.
Now, they doing us a favor...
...letting us bring you in so your
booking will go smooth, feel me?
- I feel you.

No, it's cool. I'll handle it.
Rev, Bobby. Big Daddy,

Well, same old, same old.

gonna grab Rafik Dotson for us.
I did. And we will.
Hey. He said we would do it.
Yeah, no, no. We're not here for him.
We're picking us up...
...a Calvin Joy.
You know, you guys are supposed
to contact the local officers...
...before you come in here.

Guys?
Brenda, this is Detective Council.
Detective Council,
this is Brenda Martin.
- How you doing, Brenda?
- Not good.
Detective Council's gonna
take it from here, okay?
- Can I get you anything?
- No.
Now, look.
I know you're upset and tired as hell,
but the sooner we go through this...
...the sooner we can make
something good happen, all right?
Look, Brenda, would you rather have
a female investigator in here?
Would that make you
more comfortable?
I wasn't raped,
if that's what you're driving at.
Oh, that's good.
I'm real glad to hear that.
Look, the other officers already,
you know...
...got the description of the car
and the actor.
And everybody's on the street
looking for this guy.
But if you'll just bear with me,
you know, kind of...
...take me through the story
one more time.
I was trying to get from the projects
back into Gannon. I live in Gannon.
You shut up! And shut up now!
I was on Hurley at
the bottom of the hill, you know...
...Martyrs Park, where the street ends?
And I had heard you could...
...cut through Martyrs
and come out in Gannon...
...but I'd never done it before.
So I'm, like, halfway in,
and it's, like, where's..?
And then there's no road.
So I was starting to back out...
...and this guy come from
behind a tree or something.
And I didn't wanna deal with him.
But before I...
I know it,
he comes up to the window.
And he opens my car door...
...and says, "Just... Just look.
Look where I'm pointing."
Like I should get out of the car.
And I know better.
Before I knew it, he yanks me
out of the car.
And he pulls me down so hard.
You don't know. I tried.
I tried to tell him.
Tried to tell him what, Brenda?
Okay, look. Now, I gotta ask.
And I want you to know,
it doesn't matter what your answer is...
...all I'm concerned with is trying
to find the guy who hurt you.
White girl from Gannon. What was I
doing there at night, copping rock?
You're strictly the victim.
I need to know who to hit on.
I'm clean almost five years.
I don't even think about it.
Okay.
- And my brother's on the job.
- Really? Where?
Gannon. He's a detective.
Danny Martin.
Danny Martin.
Yeah, okay. All right. Yeah, good.
What was I doing there
if I wasn't buying drugs?
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
I work in the Children's Center.
The Rainbow Club in Three Building.
Okay, good. That's good.
Now, excuse me.
- This is SI 15 to Base.
- Base. Go ahead.
I need a reach-out to Gannon,
a Detective Danny Martin.
Have him contact me
at the Dempsy MC.
- Received.
- Okay, Brenda.
I went home
and I couldn't find my glasses.
I thought I left them
at the Rainbow Club.
But I didn't, so I got
in the car...
...and I drove.
You drove, and?
I told you the rest.
You know, Brenda, I...
I can't help but think there's
something else still bothering you.
You sure you don't want
a female investigator here?
