Can't you see this legs that leaves me here.

We're looking for your grandson, Ms. Rogers.

What are you looking for him for?

Just to talk. We just wanna talk.

Did he do something wrong?

He might've been a witness to a crime.

I don't know anything about that.

Where can we find him?

Young man. What do you think gives you

the right to come into my room...

...and have a conversation without even

acknowledging my presence.

We're terribly sorry.

It's very important we talk to this

woman's grandson.

And she told you she doesn't know where he is.

Actually, she hasn't told us that.

I don't know

Sorry, grandma.

What do you want to know?

Did you make a delivery, Tuesday?

On Josephine and Denilson?

Uh huh.

What did you see there?

This is a 15 year old boy, Sir.

We need you to tell us what you saw there.

He don't get involved in drugs, and gangs.

He goes to school.

He hold down a job and he come home.

A family was murdered, mam.

And I feel very bad about that, but I

don't want my grandson involved in it.

Maybe your grandson have some feeling on

his own.

The lady told me to set the grocery bag

in the kitchen.

As I send the grocery bag down there, I

heard screaming. Then i heard gun shots.

So I hid in the closet.

When I came out, everyone was all dead.

Did you see her shot then?

Yes or No?

This is what we're looking for.

The name is Donald Godshaw.

Street name Big Fate.

Familiarize yourself with his record

goes back to '91.

Did time for rape, sodomy, aggravated assault,

narcotics and possesion of automatic weapon.

We believe he's also behind at least 3 homicides.

Including the Ndele Family.

Lieutenant, would you show us some victims?

All three were possible witnesses.

Godsha has two floggies that he runs with.

DeShaun Hackett. Street name "Midget".

Has a girlfriend on Burgundy. We'll set

up surveillance all the block. Maybe

we'll get lucky. He'll turn up.

Gary Jenkins. Street name "G".

His grandmother lives in project.

If he's laying low chances are

that's where we'll find him.

Let's bring 'em in.

Give me a minute.

I need access to the property next door.

Do you mind?

That's okay, baby...

What do you need access for?

We have some complaints about

disturbance.

Don't f***ing breathe.

I love it.

I just love it.

I told you everything I know

This is your lucky day, Son

You're the first person we picked up,

you're in the position to help yourself.

- Help myself to what?

- You think you know something...

...about this family that got murdered.

I don't know nothing, man.

You were in the apartment when the

African got shot.

- Who's with you? Midget, Donald?

- Who?

Donald Godshaw. Big Fate.

- Where is he? Where can we find him?

- I don't know no Big Fate.

We find him on our own, we don't need

you no more. There's gonna be 5

homicides to answer for,

and Donald's gonna hang 'em on you.

I mean "G" get 10 to 10, you got life.

I don't know nobody name "Midget",

I don't know nobody name "Big Fate".

Renaldo Hayes.

Oh man, it's bad luck.

I keep for over once on a while this kid

throw to somebody on his own team.

I love the guy. By the end of the

f***ing game. I'm starting to hate him.

What do you want for the weekend.

- What's to spend on Lousiana and Arkansas?

- 4.

Lousiana, minus 4 for a dime.

You got it.

I got a favor to ask.

My kid got a speeding ticket.

I can take care of it

if you give me 0.5 point.

You're gonna grind me for helping out my kid?

Grind you?

You're a funny guy, you know that?

There's guys getting half a point on the

street for nothing. Who lying to you.

Alright.

But you take care of it.

Hello

I'm Lieutenant McDonagh.

New Orleans homicide.

What can I do for you?

A friend of mine's daughter got a ticket

for speeding.

She was doing 75 on the way to the

hospital to visit her grandmother.

Has a couple of minor, minor moving

violation in the past. She's in danger

of losing her license.

- What do you want me to do?

- I'd like you to take care of it for me.

You come out to the scene of an accident

just to ask me that?

We got both parts to submit.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Are you asking me to break the law?

Is that what you're doing here?

Are you asking me to break the law?

I'm asking you one cop to another

to do me a favor.

- The answer is no.

- Just like that?

Just like that.

Isn't this the same police department

my father was in?

Will you excuse me.

Right. Guardian of the flame, right?

F***ing ass.

Get back in your car, Lieutenant.

Or else what?

Hey there.

Hey, what are you doing here?

- You know, the lieutenant, officer?

- Yes, we used to work together.

Why don't you walk him back to his car.

I could've told not to bother with that

a**hole.

If you need a ticket fixed, why didn't

you come to me?

I didn't know you work here

They only let me out on patrol when

they're shorthanded. Or else they got

me in the property room.

Property room? What are you doing tonight?

- You're asking me out?

- Yes, I am.

Hey.

You like this boots, don't you?

Who cares who bought it on you, you

know that.

- You horny?

- Oh yeah.

No, you're not.

Yeah true.

Whenever I take prescription except for

the heroin.

Hey! Wake up McDonagh.

You know there's times I can't get what

I need with the prescription.

- Really?

- Yeah.

My back hurts sometimes

Maybe there's something I can do to make

that pain go away.

You definitely can.

What's that, baby? What do you want me

to do for you.

Check out your property room.

See if there's any Oxycotin or morphine

that you can sneak out of there.

Just make sure you get rid off the

voucher copy.

You're nuts.

It's gonna be more complicated than I

thought.

You're kidding me.

The best thing to do is now have a plead

not guilty. By the time a court date

comes around, I'll talk to cover up.

I thought that's what you're gonna do.

I went straight to the lieutenant.

It'll work out. It's just gonna take a

little longer.

Kinda calls in the question 'half a

point for nothing' concept don't you

think?

- You're some cheap freak, you know that?

- You say you gonna do something, you dont do it.

Good. Charge me for that point.

And, after last weekend, you're down $

You might I mean might have thought to

bring me little something?

Okay. You got it.

- How long has he been in there?

- About 20 minutes.

- Who else?

- His girlfriend at least one.

That's as far as we know.

What are these f***ing Iguanas doing on

my coffee table?

- They ain't no Iguana.

- Yeah, they are.

It ain't no iguana.

What the f*** is that?

F***ing iguana.

Are we set up?

- SWAT is around the corner.

- No.

No. No SWAT. Let them stay there.

Well the Duty Captain said he want to

coordinate with us when we...

Is that right, Stevie? Is that what

you're f***ing doing now? Reporting back

to the f***ing Duty...

I'm telling you what he said.

We need SWAT, we'll call 'em.

Let's go.

- Who else is in here?

- Nobody.
