Do you know the guy

who did this to you, Brenda?

Hey, hey, hey.

Brenda, stop, stop, stop.

Do you know who this man is?

Listen, this is your lucky night.

I know everybody

in the Armstrong projects.

I own that place.

Ain't nobody I don't know.

Do you know who did this to you?

Who's the guy, Brenda?

I'm dying. I'm dying! I'm dying!

My son.

Your son? Your son what?

Is in the car.

No! No!

No! No!

No! No!

Brenda, your kid,

he's a boy, right?

- Okay. Cody. Cody. How old is he?

- I just told you.

Oh, that's right. Slow down, Lorenzo,

slow down. Four years old.

- Okay. Is he in a car seat?

- No.

- Seat belt?

- No.

- Front or back?

- Of?

- The car!

- Oh. Oh, back.

Okay. Hold on, hold on.

Hold on one second.

This is Special Investigator 15 to Base.

Stand by for emergency transmission.

...notify all units that

there is a male child in the car.

A 4-year-old...

Is he Caucasian?

- Caucasian male, 4 years old,

in the back seat.

- Received.

- He was asleep.

- He was... He was sick. He was...

- Hold on, Brenda. Hold on.

Hold on, hold on.

The child is or was asleep...

...so he may or may not be

visible to pursuing officers.

- Stand by for further description.

- I tried to tell him.

What was he wearing, Brenda?

What's he wearing? Your son.

What is your son wearing?

He had a... He had a...

He had a white... White shirt on.

A white... A white shirt on.

Back!

Pajama bottoms with stripes. Okay.

All right, hold on, hold on.

Sh*t! Special Investigator 15

to Base.

Child has black hair, white shirt

and pajama bottoms.

- Your kid's asleep, right, Brenda?

- He's asleep.

All right. Okay, now...

...listen to me. This knucklehead,

all he wants is your car.

If he wanted to hurt somebody,

he would have hurt you.

- No, he did hurt me.

- All right. Here, listen to me, Brenda.

He's gonna see that kid, pull over to

a corner and put him on the sidewalk.

He don't want no parts of that kid.

Sh*t! All right. Now listen,

I gotta ask you one more time.

- What were you doing there?

- No, I... I told you.

- Why were you there?

- I told you.

- Well, tell me again!

- I told you.

Told me what? Tell me what

you were doing! Tell me again!

I went to find my glasses.

You took your sick kid

out at 9 in the evening...

...for some f***ing glasses?!

- I... I don't have a babysitter!

I can't afford one. What

are you trying to do, punish me?

- Sit. All right. Sit.

- Believe me, you don't have to.

I'm tight. I'm tight. All right?

- Oh, God.

- Oh, well, what if he wakes up?

He'll be so scared.

I'm never not there for him.

Listen, I know this is hard for you.

But we are going to find him, okay?

- I let him down.

- Nobody wants a kidnap tag.

He's my world, and I let him down.

He's worth 10 of anybody else.

He's worth 10 of me!

What..? What are you doing?

Adrenaline. Straight, no chaser.

Detective Council, there's a Detective

Martin from Gannon out here.

All right. Can you stay with her?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay. Be back. Be right back.

Is that your daughter?

She's beautiful.

What happened?

Your sister got jacked

over in the Armstrong Houses.

She got a little roughed up.

And we think her son, Cody,

is still in the back seat of the car.

- Car? The guy's still out there?

- We got a crash alert going.

He won't get far.

- Where in Armstrong, high end or low?

- I know where you're coming from...

...but your sister needs to be

with family. Think you could stay?

- I'll ask you again. High end or low?

- It's not your jurisdiction, man.

But I give you my word, I will do...

Hey, Council. You at least got

a photo of who you're looking for?

Ain't that many pictures

of jackers in the book.

No. I mean him.

- SI 15 to SI 20. Go to six.

- Twenty on six.

She had to go to the john.

What part of "stay with her"

did you not understand?

What's happening, Big Daddy?

Big heads up.

The vic is Danny Martin's sister.

So you believe Gannon's gonna be

hopping the fence in force.

No sh*t. They're already here.

I'll be down as soon as I can.

No. No, don't come down here.

You'll only go batshit.

You'll make everything

Listen, just take her over to BCI,

all right? And I'll handle this, please.

Brenda?

Go to their supply cabinet and...

Ten-four. Ten-nine-two, eight-eight.

Armstrong residents,

this is a lockdown.

Do not cross the barricade.

Armstrong residents.

This is a lockdown.

For you to join the ranks

of these people, to continue...

...to oppress us like this!

We have had six homicides

in these homes in the last three years.

Three of them

children under 18 years of age.

And not once did we ever...

...have the police presence

we got here tonight...

...for one missing white child!

Can you explain that to me?

- Abductor, please approach

one of the officers.

If you have any information about

the whereabouts of Cody Martin...

...or his abductor, please...

Lorenzo. My mother

is having an angina attack.

- And they letting nobody out.

- What?

Now, I am gonna get her

to a hospital if I have to f***ing...

Bea, it's all right.

You get your mother and her things.

I'll see she gets to the hospital.

I know what you're doing here.

And I'm telling you, you cannot

get involved with all this and help her.

Now get the hell out of here. Take her

over to BCI and do your job, man.

- Where the hell is she?

- Sh*t.

- Hey! Hey!

- Medic. Come on!

Hey!

- Make a path. Make a path.

- Move it!

- My bag.

- Forget it. Forget it.

Hey, what are you doing, huh?

Looking for a clue?

- It's a f***ing freeway.

- Watch your mouth.

Yeah. And you,

are you out of your mind?

- What were you doing out here?

- Danny, please, I swear...

Hey. Your sister's suffering here.

I don't see no ax

sticking out her head.

He's my son, you f***!

Let me tell you something, Council.

This shithead's in the wind,

and he ain't coming back.

But if it happened here,

the answer's here.

And we're gonna shut this place

down like East f***ing Berlin...

...until somebody gives it up.

Now, all I want to know...

...is are you working Armstrong

or just protecting it?

The police are requesting

your help with any information...

Get him out of here.

Get all of them out of here.

Lorenzo, it's his nephew. Reverse the

situation, we'd be over there in a shot.

For an Armstrong kid?

I f***ing doubt it.

Don't kill me!

- Oh, God!

- Don't do it, Calvin!

- Don't do it.

- Do it.

Coming through.

- Make way, people.

- Calvin! No, Calvin. No!

Yo, C! Come on, man!

No!

- They threw him out the window.

- They pushed him out the window.

- All right, stand back.

- Back up, y'all. Back up.

- Calvin Joy. Possession with intent.

- What did you do, huh?

- What did you do?

- We never got in the door.
